Built to Last. Made to Be Loved.

Your Joobran bag is more than just an accessory — it’s a lifelong companion. With a little care, it will age gracefully and serve you for years to come. Here’s how to ensure it stays in excellent condition, adventure after adventure.


General Maintenance

There’s a quiet strength stitched into every Joobran bag — a confidence that comes from premium materials and rugged design. We build our bags to endure the outdoors, but lasting beauty requires thoughtful care.


Cleaning Instructions

  • Use a soft or medium-bristle brush to gently remove dirt or debris.

  • Avoid metal brushes — they’re too harsh. A toothbrush works wonders for hard-to-reach areas.

  • Plain water often does the trick. Only use a mild detergent if needed, and always sparingly.


Waxed Canvas Maintenance

Over time, your waxed canvas bag may begin to dry out — a sign it’s ready for a refresh.

To re-wax:

  1. Gently warm the canvas and wax (a hairdryer works well).

  2. Rub in a small amount of wax using a clean cloth.

  3. Apply light heat to help it absorb, then let it cool and dry.

  4. Repeat if needed, but don’t overdo it — a little goes a long way.


Leather Treatment

Leather gains character with age, but still benefits from the right care.

  • Use a quality leather conditioner — shoe polish often works well without over-softening.

  • Be mindful with load-bearing straps; over-conditioning can weaken them.

  • Apply several light coats instead of one heavy one, and always wipe away excess.

  • Remember: less is more.


A Joobran bag is tough by design — but like all things worth keeping, it deserves a little care.
Treat it well, and it will journey with you for a lifetime.
