    AC, no central heat. Leather belts would be covered in growing stuff
    overnight. Shoes too! 

    Just a bit of advice: 

    For storing leather, treat said leather with neetsfoot oil/linseed
    oil soap  before hand (available at all tack shops, it comes in a
    big tub for about $20 CDN) and you will not have any mold whatsoever
    on your leather goods. Be generous with the stuff. It will work.
    Guaranteed. 

    In our moldy humid basement, my tack has been sitting in a cardboard
    box for 7 long years and hasn't got a speck of mold on it whereas,
    the leather scraps I have hanging on a wire hanger from the ceiling
    (not treated) is covered with a luxuriant growth of green mold.
