New site updates at Pecard.com!

Post by The_Edge »

Forgive me if this is old news but I just discovered it. I was over at http://www.pecard.com and they now have a link called "IndyGear Fans!" This link takes you to a special page that shows the proper dressing for the jacket, boots, whip, etc. So if you are not sure what to put on your lamb Wested you just go to the jacket section and can click to buy right there! No more guess work!

Way to go Pecards!

If you were to only get one bottle of the stuff, which would be the best for both the Lambstouch jacket and the holster?

The lotion, as the lambtouch should not have standard dressing applied. It's oil based, and will add quite a bit of physical weight to the leather. Regards. Michaelson

Can you clear something up for me Michaelson, once and for all? Are the regular leather lotion and the motorcycle leather lotion one and the same? Or is there some slight difference? And if there is a difference, the motorcycle leather lotion is the one to use on my lambskin FS, right? Thanks, my friend.
Regards--Maryon

PS--HJS ordered a huge tub (1 lb.) of leather dressing the other day. I think our whips will be well-cared for for quite some time! :)

I'm not Michaelson, but yes, they are. It confused me for a long time. Same goop, different packaging.

Peace,
Cliffhanger

P.S. Oh, and I use the leather lotion on my lambskin. I feel MUCH more confident taking it out in the rain. :)

Thanks. Guess they have to market specifically for bikers, eh?

The lambtouch is cowhide so you would recommend the oil-based lotion for the pre-distressed cowhide was well? It would seem to me the oil-based lotion would water-proof the jacket (so to speak), correct? Just curious b/c I going to be ordering a tub soon and want to get the right thing.

The lambtouch cowhide is EXTREMELY lightweight, and just a bit heavier than lambskin. You could indeed use standard dressing, but personally I'd recommend (and have used) the water based lotion on it, as it cleans and conditions the leather, but doesn't add that addition physical weight that the standard dressing does.

Quick note guys:
For the international Indy fans out there, DavidMorgan.com website offers Pecard at a shipping price half that of Pecard.com.

Pecards availability

Post by House Detective »

After visiting Pecards website, it mentioned that it also sold it's products under the "Red Wing Shoes" label. So, I checked out my local Red Wing Shoe store and sure enough, they carry the Pecards leather dressings. It has a "Red Wing" label on it, but seems to be the same stuff. A jar of the mid-brown dressing was $2.95 and a large tub of the regular leather dressing/conditioner was only $5.95. Saves a bit on the shipping. :wink:

My big question is: When is Pecards going to start accepting PayPal? :(

Two years dead, but after a bunch of searching, I'd like to revive this thread, please and thank you. ;)

Can we have this new link (below) added to the IndyGear main page somewhere? Not sure how long it's been out there, but I couldn't find it searching, and the main page takes me somewhere on Pecards tailored to IndyGear, but not as good as their NEW IndyGear page!

I know the FAQs include discussions of which to use, and the Contacts: Pecards page links you to a very informative discussion page w/ some product listings (http://www.pecard.com/IndyGear.htm), but this direct page includes very specific discussion on a per-leather-item basis right next to the pull-downs w/ leather-care products named for the very items they protect.

Gosh, that would make a lot of 'which pecards to use' questions OBSOLETE. ;)

Want to see the page I'm talking about? Well, you can click 'Indy Gear Fans!' in the left margin of the Pecards main page, but just, this is *currently* the link:
http://www.pecard.com/en-us/dept_13.html

;)
J

P.S. I know this thread is old, but just to be clear - the Pecards site DOES say it accepts PayPal now. :D

Until the update, I'm not sure what else we can do besides do what we've already done, Jerry. The 'let's clear some things up' post at the very top of this section, written by Leather_Loco, and locked as an 'sticky' DOES have the current link to the Pecards.com site. It's more than just a FAQ. It's a conduit directly TO Pecards.

It will be added to the links area as things develop, but until that's done, I'm not sure what else can be done. :-k

I'm in the need for a refill on the "Pecards Jell/Cream" for my Goatskin jackets.

However, I can't seem to find the ordering link on their website for it. I'm probably just missing it, and it's probably right in front of me, but can anyone direct me to the Pecards Jell/Cream ordering link?

Thank you!

Argh...see, I knew I was forgetting to look somewhere. Seems like we have an excess of magic places to look. ;) Not a complaint, an observation. I know it is meant as a way of making sure the information is available until the update is completed. Which I will continue waiting for patiently. ;)

Yup, you were right, it was in front of you. ;)

http://www.pecard.com/IndyGear.htm (scroll all the way down).

This is linked from the main IndyGear page under Contacts -> Pecards (you just click on the duck ;)).

Go to the Pecards site. Scroll the left side bar down to 'Leather Dressing Pastes', click on that, then scroll down that page to 'Jell dress', second item from the bottom of the page.

hahaha...two ways to the same thing. (Yep, double-checked to make sure I didn't steer him wrong. Oh, and that 'steer' thing was not meant as a leather pun. :roll: )

I've revised Eric's link in his 'clear things up' post at the top to reflect the one you posted, Jerry.

I remember seeing the jell in there somewhere, lol. After losing patience with my slow computer, page after page, I knew that I could count on you guys to help steer me correctly in the right direction!

While Pecard's will not speed up your computer, I understand that regular application will help preserve the silicon in your chip set. :wink:
