Product Care
Proper care and treatment of your leather garment can significantly extend its lifespan, allowing you to enjoy its style and durability for years to come.
Here are some simple steps to help clean your leather garment:
Remove Dust or Dirt: Use a soft brush to gently brush off any dust or dirt from the garment.
Clean with a Mild Solution: Prepare a cleaning solution with distilled water and neutral soap (free of chemicals). Dampen a microfiber cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down the garment, moving from top to bottom.
Rinse: Dampen another cloth with just water and wipe the garment again to remove any soap residue.
Dry Carefully: Wipe off any excess water to avoid watermarks, then dry the garment with a clean towel.
Air Dry: Hang the garment to air dry naturally. Never use a hair dryer or expose the garment to direct sunlight or heat sources.
P.S. For deep cleaning, it’s always best to take your leather garment to a professional cleaner who specializes in leather.
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and shape of your leather garment, proper storage is key. Here are a few tips to help keep your leather jacket in top condition:
Use a Breathable Garment Bag: Store your leather jacket in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and dirt. Avoid plastic packaging as it can trap moisture and damage the leather.
Use Padded or Wooden Hangers: Hang your leather jacket on a padded or wooden hanger to help retain its shape. Avoid wire hangers, as they can cause the jacket to lose its form.
Avoid Folding: Never fold your leather garment, as this can cause creases and damage over time.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Always store your leather jacket in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Heat can dry out the leather and cause it to crack or fade.
Storing
While mild rain is generally okay and won’t cause much damage to your leather jacket, it’s important not to expose the leather to significant moisture for extended periods.
If your leather jacket gets wet, quickly wipe off the water and allow it to dry naturally by hanging it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help preserve the jacket’s quality and shape.
To properly care for your leather garment, consider the following tips:
Water Resistance: Leather jackets are not naturally water-resistant. Exposure to significant moisture can make the leather brittle and dry. If you choose to apply a water-resistant product, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, but please note that Leather Jacket and Bags is not responsible for any damage caused by such products.
Regular Cleaning and Conditioning: Keep your jacket free from dust and dirt. Condition it once or twice a year to maintain its appearance, keep it strong, and provide some protection against water damage.
Avoid Harsh Cleaning Methods: Do not dry clean, machine wash, tumble dry, use bleach, detergents, chemical soaps, or iron your leather garment. Force drying can also damage the leather.
Protect from Harmful Elements: Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, alcohol, oil, grease, and abrasive products with caustic ingredients, as these can all damage the leather.
