The holiday season is fast
approaching and many of you will be attending various business and
social events.
If you just happen to be wearing your favorite suede or leather
jacket, sport coat or blazer beware. Chances are, some over zealous
event organizer will slap one of those "Hello, my name is...."
stickers on your chest while you're not looking.
Here's my tip: NEVER put one of those stickers
on a suede or leather garment!
Why? Take a look at the glue and remnants of a sticker adhering
to this custom-tailored Bottega Giotti brown suede
jacket.
One of our
Oklahoma City clients did what he thought was
appropriate. He tried to peel off the sticker.
Notice that
- parts of the sticker did not peel off,
- parts of the adhesive did not peel off with the sticker,
and
- a thin layer of outer surface of the suede was pulled off with
the sticker.
Of course, we'll do our very best to restore this Italian
hand-crafted suede jacket to its original condition. We probably
have a 50:50 chance of complete success.
How can I help you?
