Thank you! Very helpful info.

I've had very good luck with my Miele washer/dryer. I wash Rick unstable tees every week for years with no damage. Washed some Julius knit denim tonight on the delicate cycle and came out looking new. Great machine.

Sounds perfect. Top or front load? Thanks!

Anyone here uses Tarrago nano cream to clean and nourish their leather? Have a leather bag that's dried up at certain areas and would like to bring them back to life. Was recommended by a local cobbler this product.

Not too sure but I've read somewhere online that products containing beeswax would actually cause more damage to the leather and this applicant contains beeswax. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I have been using this recently on my "dry clean only" clothes. Leaving them to soak in cold water with a tablespoon of it...to great results.

hi zamb, just a thought, you might want to try Ko-cho-line Leather Dressing instead of neatsfoot, its kicks ass for conditioning and will bring really old, rigid, dry leather back to unbelievable suppleness...and is great for waterproofing as well...its a jelly rather then an oil. it will not darken leather to the degree that neatsfoot does.

Can anyone recommend any lotions or conditioners for the Rick Owen Geobaskets to keep them clean?

I just clean mine once in a while with a damp cloth. If you want to keep the leather nice I'd say try getting some TangentGC shoe grease. They sell it at COS among other stocklists. The beeswax grease by Dr Martens will do as well.

Any experience with stretched out wool sweater? it stretched about one size after a handwash and I need this to shrink down…

since shrinking usually happens not because of 'hot water' but the change of temperature, i would (legal disclaimer: you do this at your own risk...) first soak it again in reasonably hot water, then right after in very cold water, then lay FLAT to dry on a towel, with the sweater slightly scrunched up all over so it can shrink up a bit without friction. keep in mind to stretch it to the right shape if needed.
