Troubleshooting

Material cleaning concerns (faux horsehair, suede)

Use specialized cleaning tools like a suede brush for suede and a soft, damp cloth for faux horsehair and leather. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Color transfer from materials

The dark green faux horsehair and colored suede may transfer color, especially when wet. Avoid wearing in wet conditions and on light-colored surfaces to minimize risk.
