Leather Care & Restoration

Good Leather Deserves Good Care.

Leather is meant to be used.

Boots get dusty. Bags get scratched. Belts dry out. Years of work, weather and everyday life leave their mark.

At Bison & Blade, the goal isn’t to erase that history. It’s to clean, condition, protect and restore quality leather so it can keep doing its job.

Restore the life. Don’t erase the history.

Built by hand. Made to be used.

Boot Care

Boot Clean & Condition —

$40 per pair

Routine care for boots that need some attention but aren’t ready for restoration.

Includes cleaning, conditioning, light welt and sole-edge care, appropriate finishing and a final hand buff.

Best for: boots in good overall condition that simply need regular care.

Boot Revival —

$75 per pair

The signature Bison & Blade boot-care service.

For boots showing noticeable dryness, buildup, wear or neglect.

Includes thorough cleaning, welt and visible sole-edge care, hardware cleaning, deep conditioning, appropriate polish or finish, protective treatment and final hand buff.

Whenever possible, I let proper cleaning and conditioning do the heavy lifting rather than unnecessarily altering the leather.

Boot Upper Restoration —

Starting at $125

For heavily neglected, faded, dried, stained or distressed leather requiring more than routine maintenance.

May include multiple cleaning and conditioning stages, targeted finish work, limited color restoration and additional preservation treatments.

Every restoration is assessed before work begins.

Structural shoe repair, resoling and heel replacement are not offered.

More Than Boots

I also care for shoes, bags, briefcases, belts, wallets, leather cases, sheaths, EDC gear, and sentimental or heirloom leather pieces.

Because leather type, construction, size and condition vary, these projects are quoted individually after assessment.

Send me a few clear photos and I’ll tell you what I believe the piece needs—and what it doesn’t.

Heirloom & Sentimental Leather

Some leather carries more than everyday wear.

A family briefcase. Grandpa’s belt. A well-traveled bag. Something that’s been around long enough to become part of the family story.

Those pieces deserve a different approach.

The goal isn’t to make something old look new. It’s to stabilize it, preserve its character, return usefulness where possible and help it keep going.

Some marks should stay.

What Can Be Restored?

Not every piece of leather can—or should—be treated the same way.

Leather type, age, construction, previous coatings, cracking and water damage all affect what’s safely possible.

Before significant restoration work begins, I’ll tell you:

• What I believe can be improved

• What should remain untouched

• Any risks involved

• What outcome is realistically achievable

No false promises. No unnecessary treatments.
