Thanks for all the input.. I've been plenty wet before and do ride a lot in the rain..but this was epic rainfall..I guess the stuff just got wetter than it has ever been.

I'll post a follow up in a few days..

Never had this problem tho...

My vest is still damp and is now it's starting to smell pretty foul.
Mrs. Cujo's gloves are positively growing with mold.

My question..How do I ...

a) get rid of the mold without ruining the leather
b) clean it so it won't stink.

Anyone ??
Murphy's oil soap, and saddlesoap, and a medium soft brush. hang em spread out and blow a fan or two on them.
