Care Instructions

Daily habits

  • Air it out: give the jacket a day’s rest between wears.
  • Correct hanger: broad/contoured wooden hanger to keep shoulder shape.
  • Microfiber wipe: dust gently; avoid wet wipes and alkaline soaps.
  • Keep dry: rain happens—don’t panic, just dry naturally (no heaters/hairdryers).

Cleaning & conditioning (smooth leathers: nappa, aniline, semi-aniline)

  • Routine: dust monthly; light clean each season.
  • Conditioning: very sparingly, 1–2× per year with neutral, pH-balanced leather balm. Always spot-test on a hidden area.
  • After rain: once fully dry, apply a light condition to restore suppleness.

Suede & nubuck

  • Protect: apply a color-safe water-&-stain protector spray every 3–4 months.
  • Maintain: use a suede brush (and an eraser block for marks).
  • Never: creams, oils, or heavy conditioners.

Specialty finishes

  • Patent/foiled/metallic: wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth; avoid conditioners and abrasives.
  • Shearling: air-dry only; brush the wool side; treat the suede side as nubuck.

Stains & spills (quick reference)

  • Water marks (smooth): blot; if a tide line forms, lightly dampen the whole panel with a clean cloth to even it out; let dry.
  • Oil/grease: lift excess. Smooth leather—see a specialist. Suede—corn-starch/talc for a few hours, then brush.
  • Salt/rain rings: gently wipe with a barely damp cloth; repeat once; dry.
  • Ink/dye transfer: avoid DIY—professional only. (Dark denim can crock onto light leathers.)
  • Mold/mildew (smooth): wipe lightly with 1:1 water/isopropyl on cloth; air; condition next day. If persistent, see a specialist.

What to avoid

  • Heat sources, steamers, hairdryers, radiators.
  • Plastic covers or cramped wardrobes.
  • Household cleaners, acetone, bleach, baby wipes.
  • Over-conditioning (can darken/soften seams).
  • Spraying perfume or hair products onto the leather.

Storage & travel

  • Seasonal storage: clean, condition (smooth leather), stuff with tissue, zip closed, cotton bag, cool/dark place.
  • Travel: breathable garment bag; avoid tight folds; unpack and hang on arrival.

Hardware & lining

  • Zippers/snaps: occasional gentle clean with dry cloth; protect leather if using any lubricant.
  • Lining (cupro/viscose): spot-clean sparingly; professional dry clean only with a leather specialist when needed.
