Premium prep. Better grip. Game-ready feel.
Give your leather football the attention it deserves with KS1’s Premium Break-In Service. Add it to your KS1 leather football purchase, or mail in a football you already own from any brand, including Wilson, Team Issue, Nike, Adidas, and more.
Our hands-on process conditions the leather, works the seams, and enhances grip—saving you the time and effort of breaking it in yourself. Return shipping is included in the service price.
Initial Brushing: We start by thoroughly brushing your football to bring out the leather’s tack and create a consistent color across the panels.
Hand-Worked Seams: We inflate your football to 13 PSI and work each seam by hand with a burnishing block to flatten raised areas and reduce that bumpy seam feel.
Excess Dye Removal: Each panel is wiped down to remove excess dye, then brushed to clear away cleaning residue.
Hand Conditioning: High-quality leather conditioner is applied to soften and protect the leather, followed by proper drying time.
Football Mud Application: We apply football mud, then brush away the excess to develop the leather’s grip and feel.
Wax Treatment: A careful application of wax enhances grip, water resistance, and durability.
Proper Inflation: Regulation air pressure is maintained throughout the break-in process.
Final Brushing: A thorough finishing brush brings out the leather’s natural texture for a professional, game-ready look and feel.
