Bickmore Gard-More Leather & Suede Protector Spray, 6 oz — Water & Stain Repellent, Silicone-Free

Bickmore Gard-More is a silicone-free protector spray that creates an invisible, breathable barrier to repel water, dirt, and stains on leather, suede, hats, and more.

Keep shoes, jackets, hats, and leather accessories looking newer longer with a protective spray designed to preserve texture and color without stiffening or yellowing. Gard-More was formulated to shed moisture and common staining agents while maintaining the natural feel of delicate surfaces like suede and nubuck. Applied periodically, it reduces scuff-related rub off and helps prevent water damage that leads to premature wear.

How do I apply Gard-More to leather and suede so it protects without altering the finish?

Preparation and a light, even coating are key. Test a hidden spot first for colorfastness. Hold the can at a comfortable distance and mist rather than soak; allow each application to dry fully before use to preserve texture.

• Brush suede or nubuck gently to lift nap before spraying.
• Spray from 6–8 inches away in smooth, overlapping passes.
• Do not oversaturate; apply multiple light coats if needed.
• Let items dry completely—overnight for hats or thick leathers.

Which materials and items are safe to treat with this spray?

Gard-More is formulated for broad compatibility across colors and materials, including leather, suede, nubuck, fabric, and felt. Because it’s silicone-free and breathable, it’s suitable for delicate hats and higher-end leather goods where maintaining hand and appearance matters most.

• Suede, nubuck, and smooth leather boots, shoes, and jackets.
• Felt and fabric hats—especially structured and felt cowboy hats.
• Leather accessories like handbags, gloves, saddles, and tack.
• Home leather furniture and upholstery for spill resistance.

What kind of protection does this spray provide and how often should I use it?

Gard-More forms an invisible, breathable shield that repels water, salt, grease, and everyday soils. Frequency depends on use and exposure: heavy-use items or gear used outdoors should be treated more often, while infrequently worn pieces may need protection seasonally.

• Repels water and common staining agents to delay staining.
• Helps reduce rub off and scuffing on high-friction areas.
• Recommended re-application after cleaning, exposure to heavy rain, or every few months for frequently used items.
• Maintains natural texture—does not create a plastic-like coating.

Who is this for? Gard-More is made for anyone who wants reliable, breathable protection for prized footwear, hats, and leather goods—outdoor workers, equestrians, style-conscious consumers, and owners of delicate suede or felt hats. It’s also useful for caretakers of leather furniture and accessories who need a non-yellowing, silicone-free solution to keep items looking and feeling their best. Made in the USA, Bickmore offers this product as part of a routine care system to extend the usable life of leather and suede without altering appearance.
