The best way to dry wet leather is to start by removing as much water as possible with a towel or cloth. Then, you should stuff the leather item with a soft absorbent material such as newspaper. Place the item near a source of indirect heat such as a radiator or fan heater and turn it off after 20 minutes. To ensure that your leather doesn’t dry out too quickly, lightly mist it with water every few hours. Lastly, allow the leather to air-dry completely before wearing or storing it away
