Guys, to anyone that maybe had face the same problem or know how to encounter this PLEASEEE share...

Heres the case.. I have a set of SPARCO racing gloves as a gift from a friend of mine.. the thing is his maid had washed it and n the grip area (i think its Suede) had hardened! Very little grip anymore but its still usable.. just not as nice a its original condition.. :(

Can anyone give a solution or any place that can fix this..? can a normal laundry shop fix it? i would very much to repair this glove if its doable cuz its reallllly comfortable.. THANKSSSSS.....

suede is not design to be come in contact with moisture, lets dun even mention washing it with water.....

1st you can try to use a hard comb to comb the suede area, it should help to soften it little..

when i was in the states, i use some kind of suede treatment to regain it softness, is kinda like oil it will darken the color little though.. but I not sure such treatment is available over here or not..

good luck !
