Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Gently run a graphite pencil along the teeth of the zipper for lubrication, or use a small amount of beeswax. Test the zipper action gently.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for your type of leather. Follow the conditioner's instructions and buff gently with a soft cloth.

Card slots feel too tight

New leather can be stiff. Carefully insert cards and leave them in the slots for a few days to allow the leather to stretch slightly. Do not force cards excessively.
