   Basically my leathers are going to be stored in a wooden garage.
   
   It will be dark and depending on the weather very hot or very cold
   
   My friend said shrink wrap them but I'm not sure if leather needs to "breathe"
   
   
   Any help would be appreacited as I don't want them I go moldy/cracked

   Leather needs to breath so no to shrink wrap I would give them a good conditioning with a decent leather product then card board box doubled up

   As above, leather needs to breathe or it will dry out, shrink and crack. Give them a good clean and condition with some leather cleaner. I find the stuff you buy from motorcycle shops called "nik wax" (or something like that) is the best for them.
