If you say that water is the Achilles' heel of leather, you won't be wrong. Water can destroy a very good quality leather within a short time if exposed. But how does water damage the leather?
Water dissolves and strips away the natural oils in leather fibers that keeps it soft and supple. So if you look at it, water does not directly damages the leather. It produces conditions which, if not treated properly, can result in a damaged leather. It dries the natural oils in the fiber, and the resulting leather wallet becomes hard and cracks.
This doesn't mean that you cannot take your wallet out of your pocket in the daylight. That's totally fine. But if you leave your wallet in direct sunlight and forget about it for a few days, you will find it hard and brittle when you return to it. A full grain wallet will absorb minor scratches and will produce a beautiful patina around usual pressure points.
But like everything, leather has its limits, too. The most common abusive use is the habit of sitting from 9 - 5 on your office chair while your wallet is in your hip pocket.
You are daily crushing your wallet with the weight of your body, and the shear forces are always trying to rip the stitches apart while you shift your body weight here and there every few minutes. To get the best out of your leather wallet, you will have to take great care of it. Like all human possessions, the more a wallet is in use, the more you get attached to it, and losing it can be painful sometimes.
Below are a few expert tips to care for your leather wallet so that it can last for as long as possible. As discussed above, water is leather killer. It will dissolve the natural oils and leave your wallet in a dry and brittle state.
Make sure you never expose your wallet to unnecessary moisture or water. That includes rainwater as well. Wrap it in a soft towel and leave it in a well-ventilated room for at least 12 hours so that the water evaporates slowly. Once dried, apply a good leather conditioner to restore the lost oils in the leather fibers and make it soft and supple again.
The specific instructions for the correct application of the leather conditioner can be found on the packaging. Generally, leather is pretty resistant to wear and tear, but it still has some limits. Any sharp object in your pocket can easily produce cuts and bruises on your wallet. Once induced, these cuts will act as concentration points for stress to further propagate the cuts and eventually rendering your precious wallet useless.
Carry your wallet in a separate pocket. Never carry it in a bag with keys, knives or other sharp objects that can damage the leather surface. Leather can stretch under stress, but if subjected to too much of it, it rarely goes back to its original shape and size. Your wallet is designed to carry a specific volume of cards and cash.
If you stuff 3 cards in a pocket designed for 1 card only, you will definitely de-shape your wallet for good.
