Suede Saddles

[ABE]

The knee rolls and seat on my GP saddle are suede and a bit faded does anyone have any tips to make revive them a bit?

I know you can buy suede dye for shoes, but I have a feeling that it would all end up on your jodhs..... Maybe ask a dry cleaners that does re-dyeing for advice?

I wouldnt attempt to dye them. If they are really looking sad then it would be better to ask your saddler to replace them for you.

I recently bought a show saddle from the Native Pony Saddle company...suede seat and knee and thigh bits. Lady who cam and fitted it for me from the Native Pony saddle Co. said she uses 1001 carpet cleaner to revive the suede. If its gone smooth and shiny, you could try using course sand paper to lift the fibres, but start off gently.

We has a suede brush, that is like a little wire brush, that comes from the company that makes shoe polish.
