Deerskin is not water resistant and has a soft temper and hand. Grease and oily substances will be immediately absorbed in deerskin. If spots occur, rub white chalk on the stain. Let sit for 24 hours and brush off residue. Repeat until stain diminishes. Do not apply sealants or leather additives to your hip bag as they will discolor the deerskin.
