Prep your gear
Before washing, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris. Empty all pockets and securely close zippers, snaps, and drawcords to protect the garment and prevent damage during the wash.

Machine wash and rinse
Wash the garment separately in a front-loading washer or top loading washer without an agitator. Select the ‘small load’ option with a warm temperature setting (40°C/104°F).
Ensure all detergent residue is rinsed out by adding an extra rinse cycle or running the rinse cycle twice.

Hand wash and rinse
Wash the garment separately in a front-loading washer or top-loading washer without an agitator. Select the ‘small load’ option with a warm temperature setting (40°C/104°F).
Ensure all detergent residue is rinsed out by adding an extra rinse cycle or running the rinse cycle twice. After washing, avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Instead, lay the garment flat on a clean towel, roll it up gently, and press to remove excess water.
Tip:Top-loading machines with agitators can be tough on your gear, so it’s best to avoid them. If you’re using a top-loader with an agitator, stick to a gentle cycle and keep the load light to protect your garment.
When to Dry
After washing
Active Time:5 minutes
Wait Time:20-40 minutes
Tools
Tumble Dryer
Iron (optional)
Soft cloth (optional)
Step 1
Tumble dry on low heat
Place your washed garment in the dryer and set it to a warm, gentle setting. Tumble dry for 20 minutes or until completely dry to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating.

Air dry and iron
Hang the garment in a well-ventilated area until it is completely dry. Once dry, set your iron to a low setting (below 110°C) with the steam turned off.
Place a thin towel or cloth between the garment and the iron to protect the fabric. Gently iron the garment to reactivate the DWR coating, working in smooth, even motions.
Tip:Let your shell air-dry fully before ironing to avoid trapping moisture in the fabric.
When to condition
After every wash/dry cycle, once the leather is completely dry to prevent the leather from stiffening or cracking
Active Time:5 minutes
Wait Time:4 hours or overnight
Tools
Leather Conditioner
Soft cloth (optional)
Step 1
Condition the leather collar
Ensure the leather collar is completely dry. Hold the Danner Leather Conditioner spray a few inches from the collar and apply an even layer across the surface. Use a soft cloth to gently work the conditioner into the leather, ensuring full coverage.
Allow the conditioner to absorb for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Tip:Conditioning prevents the leather from cracking, keeping it flexible and durable over time. Regular conditioning helps maintain the leather’s natural feel and appearance.
