Imagine it as a miniature belt; it's worn and adjusted just like one. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49553616342_94ea963ba4_b.jpg 2. Both the front and back surfaces are made of soft leather, ensuring a comfortable feel against the skin without irritation. 3. The strap length can be freely adjusted to suit your needs. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49552882298_7b92cebe10_b.jpg 4. The lanyard can be rotated freely, allowing the leather cord to air out and preventing it from becoming discolored from prolonged contact with sweat and oils from the neck. https://media.giphy.com/media/STTUE2QzoBBHcu8eFt/giphy.gif **Care Instructions:** 1. We recommend regularly wiping and conditioning the leather lanyard to extend its lifespan. Especially during summer when sweating is common or when in contact with sunscreen, wipe the entire leather cord with pure water wet wipes. Once completely dry, apply leather conditioner evenly with a cotton cloth. 2. If the leather becomes thoroughly wet, dry it as quickly as possible and then reapply protective oil. Allowing it to air dry naturally can cause the leather's structure to shrink, deform, and harden. 3. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. 4. In addition to the natural warmth and oils from your hands gradually imparting a rich, warm color and luster to the leather, we suggest regularly wiping it with a dry cloth and maintaining it with leather oil. 5. Mold spots on leather are a result of dust accumulating and interacting with atmospheric moisture over time. Therefore, for items not used for extended periods, first wipe off dust with a dry cloth, then wrap the item in a dust cover, kraft paper, or cotton cloth (cut from an old white t-shirt) and store it in a well-ventilated area. Frequent handling of the leather item (to prevent dust and moisture buildup) can also reduce the chance of mold, similar to how rolling stones don't gather moss. 6. Avoid using cleaning agents containing alcohol. **[Steel Wire Retractable Reel]** **Material:** Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide, Taiwanese metal retractable reel **Dimensions:** Diameter approx. 3.3cm, thickness approx. 1cm, cord length approx. 46cm **Product Details:** The cord of this retractable reel is made of six fine steel wires twisted together and then coated with a protective film, making it difficult to cut without wire cutters. However, if the protective film wears off, the steel wires can become brittle with continued use. Therefore, by following the precautions and video instructions below, you can ensure a longer lifespan for your reel. **Usage and Care Precautions:** 1. Avoid scraping the steel wire against other objects when extending it. 2. Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the steel wire. 3. This reel is primarily intended for standard ID badges. Hanging excessively heavy items can cause internal mechanisms and the cord to misalign, reducing its retraction power. 4. Be mindful of the spring tension when extending the cord to avoid snapping it back and causing injury to yourself or others. 5. Periodically apply leather oil, wax, or Vaseline to the cord to reduce friction and wear during rotation, extending its lifespan. 6. Avoid heavy objects or external pressure on the circular body of the reel, as this may cause the cord to jam. (The reel consists of two housing shells; external pressure can cause the internal spool to jam, leading to the cord not retracting automatically after being pulled out.) 7.
