Colonel’s No. 12 Leather Care cleans, polishes, and protects your leather items. It is specifically formulated for our natural, vegetable-tanned leathers: American Steerhide and American Buffalo (not to be used on American Alligator). This product works well on all of our leather products, from bags to wallets and everything in between. It comes in a handy Col. Littleton drawstring bag for storage and contains 7 fl. oz. of product.
Included:
“I’m a fan of well-traveled leather goods, but every now and then leather items may need a touch-up to revive them and keep them looking their best,” says the Colonel.
Directions for use: Shake the bottle well. Apply a small amount of leather care to a soft cloth and rub thoroughly into the leather, particularly in areas of repeated flexing. Let it dry. Then polish briskly with a soft cloth or brush for a rich finish. Do not use on fibrous or suede-finish leathers. Keep out of reach of children.
Note: For best results, treat the entire item for a uniform look. This is not a spot cleaner. Marks from ball-point pens, oil stains, etc., are pretty much there to stay. However, the use of our leather care can help blend them, as well as other surface scuffs and scratches, into the background making them less noticeable. In time, they will all become part of the beautiful patina and aging process typical of natural leather.

No. 12 Leather Care Kit 
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.

I recently acquired a No 18 Portfolio secondhand and set about trying to restore it. I started with an application of Neatsfoot Oil, which I had always used in the past for such projects. The result is the first photo on the left…better but darker and no improvement in the scratches. I discussed the situation with Joyce, Manager of Customer Care at Col. Littleton’s. She suggested using #12 CLC Kit and this is reflected in the second photo. The change was striking…almost new looking. I highly recommend it for any leather restoration need. Easy to apply and very well explained in writing and video.
And if you need help or advice on any of their products, call or email Joyce for a quick friendly response.
As is the standard of all Colonel Littleton products, the No. 12 Leather Care Kit is exceptional in all respects. Having just received and begun to use my second kit purchase, I continue to be appreciative of the quality and value it demonstrates. I use it consistently and regularly on all of my Colonel Littleton leather products. Further, as a collector and preserver of World War I and World II military field equipment and weaponry, I use the Leather Care regularly on the associated leather components, and it restores them to almost new condition, even the helmet leather. So, for both the contemporary Colonel Littleton leather products and the historical items, my regular use of the Leather Care will assure that they last well into the next generation and, hopefully, beyond. My thanks, once again, to Colonel Littleton and staff for their “stellar” commitment to offering exceptional products!
