Proper care helps maintain the shape, colour and finish of your leather jacket. Leather is durable, but it can become dry, faded or damaged when stored or cleaned incorrectly.
Start by checking the care label provided with your jacket. Different materials may require different cleaning methods. Avoid placing a leather jacket in a washing machine unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe.
For everyday cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a clean, soft and slightly damp cloth. Do not soak the leather. Allow the jacket to dry naturally at room temperature and keep it away from heaters, hair dryers and direct sunlight.
Use a leather conditioner occasionally to prevent genuine leather from becoming dry or stiff. Test the conditioner on a small hidden area before applying it to the complete jacket.
Store your jacket on a wide, padded or wooden hanger to protect the shoulder shape. Avoid folding it for long periods because deep creases can develop. Keep it in a cool and ventilated wardrobe, preferably inside a breathable garment cover rather than a plastic bag.
If the jacket becomes wet, gently remove excess moisture with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry. For deep stains or major cleaning, take it to a professional leather-cleaning specialist.
With proper care, a quality jacket from Leather n Fashion can maintain its appearance and remain part of your wardrobe for many seasons.
