I just purchased a nice well made five piece set of leather cuffs, and instead of smelling of leather they smell like someone was smoking around them. I love the smell of leather, and was a bit disapointed as it definatly detracted from my purchase. Is there any way to get the smoking smell out, or will it just go away by itself?

Ok this is not a anti-smoking rant, because you can do whatever you want. Also private business, clubs, etc. can do whatever they want to, but I don't have to patronize at my own choice.

Polish it, and leatherfood.
if the leather is absorbing that smokey smell, it could proably do with a bit of care anyway.

Try this:

Sprinkle a box of fresh baking soda in the bottom of a trash bag
Suspend the restratins from a hanger inside the bag.
Gather bag around the top of the hanger and tape or tie closed
Hang in a cool, area for 3-4 days.

Then:

Clean restraints well with saddle soap. (remember to use a damp cloth to wipe off saddle soap. It may say it conditions but you still need to remove the product)
Let dry
Condition appropriatly according to the type of leather

Buy "Febreze" odor removing liquid. It works well against smoke smell.

NO FEBREEZEING THE LEATHER

It is a chemical. Most man made chemicals are horrible for your leather... try Elegant's solution. As a bootblack myself, and a damn good one mind you, I would try anything Elegant recommended before doing anything else...

I agree with what she recommended as well by the way. Although I would add that after cleaning and conditioning with saddle soap, I'd stick the set in a carboard box or a large paper bag with a pile of leather scraps. This will help any remaining smoke smell transfer to the scrap and allow the leather smell to repermeate the leather. Perhaps even try replacing the scrap every week or two until gone or no noticeable difference has been made. I would also clean and recondition bi-weekly over a period of a few months, to help combat any remaining smoke left in the leather itself.

My pet gator once made his lair out of my leather jacket. It was old, weathered and smelled like a gin mill anyway. I bought a good leather conditioner, applied it well using a soft cloth and then hung it up in the closet and forgot about it. A few days later to my surprise, the jacket smelled like leather again!

The same thing works with a bag and charcoal briquettes substituting for the baking soda.
