2°/ I waterproof, you waterproof…
The yokes of the lovely braces you have just bought are made of leather and subsequently they will need looking after to avoid any nasty surprises, especially during busy nights out! Protect your braces from spills by using specific waterproofing products. To be done once a year.
3°/ Shake, rattle and rollWe chose cylindrical packaging because we think rolling your braces is the optimum way to pack and protect your braces from bumps and scratches during transit. The cardboard box protects your braces really well and can be stored anywhere.4°/ Screw, unscrew, screw, unscrew, scr…You lucky lot who have bought braces from our Heritage collection have the facility to change your braces from clip to button fastening and back again, if you wish ! All you need to do is unscrew the screw at the ends of your braces. Please note that the screw has been quite tightly screwed because the braces need to be strong enough at the back to cope with certain body movements. It is important therefore to take great care that the screws are screwed in correctly when changing your fastenings.

5°/ Taking good care of my braces.
Usually waterproofing the leather on my braces does the job in protecting them from marks. Should something happen though, rubbing some colour-free shoe shine should do the trick. Elasticated straps can be cleaned using a sponge or damp cloth and some soapy water. Please do not put your braces in the washing machine or dryer as water will damage the leather and the high temperatures will damage the elastic. Use a soft cloth (like spectacle cleaning cloth) and a bit of elbow grease to clean your clips.
