Caring for a Genuine Horsehair Keychain Over Time
Genuine horsehair keychains from Cowboy Collectibles are built for regular use and hold up well under normal carry conditions. Moisture is the main thing to manage. Extended exposure to water or sweat can affect the lay of the braid and dull the natural sheen of the horsehair over time. A quick wipe with a dry cloth after rain exposure or heavy use is sufficient to keep the piece in good shape without any special treatment required.
The hand-braided construction distributes wear evenly across the piece rather than concentrating it at a single point, which means a well-cared-for genuine horse hair keychain from Cowboy Collectibles will hold its look and structure across years of daily carry. If the braid flattens slightly over a long period of compressed storage, working it gently between your fingers restores the natural shape. These are pieces made to be used, not stored.
