CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Leather is a natural material and needs oil/moisture to keep it soft and supple. To stop it drying out, hardening and cracking, treat it at least once a month with Renapur Leather Balsalm. Use a sponge or cloth and work the cream into both the creases and joins of your leather product.
Always read the directions of the care product, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Fairfax & Favor cannot be held responsible for improper use of care or cleaning products. For any concerns, please contact our Customer Service team.

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Store away from heat, damp, and direct sunlight. Where possible, store in their dustbags and the blue box provided for additional protection. Lay clothing flat if possible; otherwise, use a broad hanger instead of the decorative loop to help prevent wrinkles.
Please Note: Coloured suede & leather can transfer with wear onto other fabrics and leave a mark. Likewise, dark coloured fabrics (like denim!) can also transfer onto brighter coloured suede and/ or leathers. This is perfectly normal and won't be covered under our warranty.

Due to the high shine nature of the leather, our croc collections can wear differently to our other items with use. Friction against other materials can cause scuffing on the leather particularly where frequent and/or prolonged.

waxed cotton
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Halley Stevensons Dry Wax cotton, cracks, creases and patinas, which is part of its beautiful character. This finish is a combination of their driest wax and soft aero tumbling. This emulsified wax finish is perfect for lightweight breathable and weather repellent garments.
Naturally through wear, the wax will gradually come off the fabric. Depending on the usage you will start to notice some fading in areas revealing the original dyed shade of fabric (applying wax darkens the dyed shade). This is due to the wax rubbing against itself and from movement (i.e. at the elbows).
You can treat your waxed cotton product with Halley Stevensons Reproofing Spray once wear starts to show. Always read the directions of the care product, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Fairfax & Favor cannot be held responsible for improper use of care or cleaning products. For any concerns, please contact our Customer Service team.

rubber
rubber
CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure your rubber products stay in good condition it's important that they are regularly cleaned with water and allowed to dry naturally.
Occasionally you might notice a white powdery "Bloom" on the rubber product. This is perfectly normal and is insoluble particles that have risen to the surface, which is largely due to the characteristic of a premium product made from high-grade rubber and will not compromise the durability or performance of the product.
Keep the zip clean and never force the zip.. Dirt will wear the zip and significantly reduce its life, and don't leave the zip undone when wearing the boots, this will increase the chances of dirt getting into the zip. Please note we recommend tightening the screw backs on the tassels once you receive them, this will help ensure no lost tassels!
