SAL & OURO | Walnut Horsehair Brush – Denim & Leather Brush

32,00 

An essential tool for the serious denim and leather enthusiast. Crafted from solid walnut and stiff horsehair to lift surface dirt and dust without damaging fibers or stripping the patina. Bench Made quality for the daily ritual of maintenance.

Descrição

The first line of defense for your selvedge denim and full grain leather.

True quality demands respect. Whether it’s a pair of heavy 21oz selvedge jeans or a €195 hand-studded leather belt, washing or chemical cleaning should always be the last resort. The O Guardião 1498 brush is designed to extend the life of your collection by removing dirt, dust, and dried mud before they settle into the grain or weave.

Why this brush?

  • Solid Walnut: The ergonomic handle (16x6x7 cm) is carved from rich walnut wood, finished with the signature Sal & Ouro hot-iron brand mark. It has a heavy, substantial feel in the hand.

  • Premium Horsehair: We chose horsehair for its perfect balance of stiffness and softness. It is powerful enough to flick away dry grit, yet gentle enough to never scratch the surface of your leather or fray your denim’s indigo face.

  • The Ritual: Use it after every wear. Brushing prevents “crotch blowouts” caused by hidden grit in denim and maintains the natural luster of high-end leather.

Specifications:

  • Material: Walnut Wood & 100% Natural Horsehair

  • Dimensions: 16 x 6 x 7 cm

  • Use: Dry brushing for denim, leather, and heavy canvas.

Denim | Care & Evolution

  • Wash: Turn inside-out. Hand soak in a tub or machine wash, cold or lukewarm with mild detergent.

  • Dry: Hang dry only; avoid tumble drying.

  • Note: Expect indigo bleeding—a signature mark of authentic Japanese denim.

Leather | Care & Evolution

  • Exposure: Avoid water; if wet, pat dry immediately.

  • Maintenance: Clean with a soft cloth; condition every 3–6 months.

  • Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Store in a cool, dry place.

  • Hardware: Wipe regularly to maintain shine. Minor scratches add character.

Exotic Leather | Care & Evolution

  • Handling: Always slide through loops with the grain to prevent scale lifting.

  • Maintenance: Apply exotic leather conditioner every 3–4 months in the direction of the scales.

  • Storage: Hang straight by the buckle. Do not roll, as this causes scales to "gape."

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, barely damp cloth. Never rub against the grain.

  • Note: If a scale lifts, do not pull. Secure with a tiny dab of leather-safe adhesive.

Cotton | Care & Evolution

  • Wash: Turn inside-out; use cold or lukewarm water with gentle detergent.

  • Dry: Hang dry to preserve fit and color.

  • Press: Iron inside-out on low to medium heat.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Wool | Care & Evolution

  • Wash: Professional dry clean or hand wash cold with wool detergent.

  • Dry: Reshape and dry flat to prevent stretching.

  • Maintenance: Avoid excessive heat and friction to prevent pilling.

  • Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to retain garment shape.
