Drum-dyed milled cowhide leather is durable and low-maintenance. After track use, wipe the suit with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner designed for drum-dyed leather. Avoid harsh soaps and excessive water. Condition the leather every 6–12 months with a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Store the suit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper care extends the life of your Jon Ekerold Yamaha race suit and preserves its documented 1980 livery appearance.
