I know what you mean about storing stuff in the garage! Leather gloves are
goners in a hurry -- no longer do I even bother with the goatskin gloves I
used to prefer.

The best regimen for taking care of used goatskin gloves is to wash
them with pumice based soap (Lava, for example) while you are wearing
them. Then rinse them well. Wring them out--but while they are still
damp, treat them with something like Lexol or Glovolium( a product
used to soften baseball gloves--any sporting goods store should have
it) Finally, place them in the sun to dry. The gloves remain supple
and last a long time.

I've done this for years; no mold yet.
