Leather Jacket Care Guide – Do’s & Don’ts

Proper care is essential to maintain the look, feel, and durability of your genuine leather jacket. Follow these simple do’s and don’ts to keep your jacket in top condition for years.

✅ Do’s:

  • Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking.

  • Store leather jackets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and brittleness.

  • Hang your leather jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creases.

  • Spot clean stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap—always test on a hidden area first.

  • Use a breathable garment bag when storing long-term to protect it from dust while allowing airflow.

  • Let real leather jacket air dry naturally if it gets wet—pat it with a soft cloth and hang it in a well-ventilated area.

  • Wear it regularly! Leather molds to your body and gets better with age.

❌ Don’ts:

  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry—water and heat can ruin the leather jacket.

  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach as they can damage the leather’s finish.

  • Do not expose it to prolonged direct sunlight—this can cause fading and dryness.

  • Never store in plastic or non-breathable covers—leather needs to breathe.

  • Do not fold or stack your leather jacket—this can cause permanent creases.

  • Avoid heavy perfumes or sprays—they can stain or alter the leather’s texture.

  • Do not dry it with a hair dryer or heater if it gets wet—this can lead to cracking.

By following these simple care tips, your genuine leather jacket will maintain its luxury, comfort, and durability for years to come!
