Your leather isn’t a fan of these 3 enemies:
Water, which leaves marks and weakens the material.
Sun and heat, which dry it out and fade the color.
Time, which dulls its natural shine.
That’s why I’m giving you a few simple tips that, once you make them habits, will help keep your jacket in perfect shape.
Good habits to keep your jacket looking great season after season:
Regularly hydrate it with a special leather lotion or cream, applied with a soft cloth.
Waterproof it once a year to protect it from rain and stains.
Let it breathe: no plastic covers, no heaters. A good hanger and fresh air are enough.
If it gets wet in the rain: gently dab with a sponge—don’t rub—and let it dry naturally.
“No-go’s” to avoid for your beloved jacket, say this loud and clear:
No washing machine.
No polish (it clogs the pores).
No ironing.
No abrasive sponges or nails. Always use a soft cloth, always gently.
You see, it would be such a shame to neglect your iconic piece, perfect for this autumn, when all it takes is a simple click to get it repaired. Don’t you agree?
