Leather Strap Care

All PMBelts real leather straps are made to be handled from day one.

No special care is needed for standard black leather.

White and Brightly coloured straps may develop cracking, particularly with frequent movement or bending. This is a normal characteristic of the leather paint used on these straps.

Avoid exposing your belt to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can dry out the leather and increase the risk of cracking.

Leather naturally softens with time and wear, so creasing and surface marks are to be expected.

If your belt gets wet from sweat or moisture, wipe it dry as soon as possible with a soft cloth to help protect both the leather and the plating.

To clean the leather, use warm water and a soft microfibre cloth or towel. DO NOT use cleaning sprays, chemicals or soaps, as these can damage the finish.

For white or brightly coloured straps, AVOID using any sprays or cleaning products on the leather, including glass cleaners, as these can cause smearing or discolouration. In most cases, warm water and a soft cloth will be sufficient.

Plate Care (Replica and Custom)

Like the leather, the plates on your belt require only minimal care.

A soft microfibre cloth and warm water are usually enough to keep them clean.

If water isn't enough, an ammonia-free glass cleaner can be used very sparingly on the plates. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

AVOID all polishes and chemical cleaners, particularly on 24k gold or dual-plated belts, as these can permanently damage the finish.

Whatever you use, always ensure the plates are completely dry after cleaning.

Hardware Care

If your belt has fastening snaps, check them occasionally for signs of wear and keep them dry to help prevent rust or corrosion.

Storage and Display

You’re free to display and store your belt however suits you, but we recommend a few basics to help keep it in good condition.

Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight where possible.

Avoid damp or humid environments.

Don't store the belt in its carry bag long-term. The bag is intended for transport or short-term storage only.

For long-term storage, allow the leather to breathe and avoid keeping the belt somewhere damp or poorly ventilated.

For white or bright straps, take extra care to avoid stains, as these can be difficult to remove.
