To keep your jacket looking its best, gently wipe off dust and surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth—never directly on the leather. Avoid using water or soap-based products, as they can strip the natural oils. Always allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.

Leather is naturally water-resistant to some extent, but it’s not waterproof. To enhance its resistance, apply a leather protectant or waterproofing spray every few months, especially during rainy seasons. Choose sprays specifically formulated for genuine leather. Avoid over-saturating and always test on a small hidden area first. Remember, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause permanent damage — if soaked, dry your jacket at room temperature and condition it afterward.

Leather needs regular conditioning to maintain its softness and prevent it from becoming brittle. Use a premium leather conditioner every 2 to 3 months. Apply a small amount using a lint-free cloth and rub it in gently. Avoid over-conditioning, as it can darken the leather. For storage, hang your jacket on a wide wooden or padded hanger to maintain its shape. Store it in a cool, dry place—never in plastic or direct sunlight—and avoid folding to prevent creases.

Minor scratches and scuffs can be treated at home using a leather balm or conditioner. Gently rub the affected area with your finger or a cotton swab to help redistribute the leather’s natural oils. For more visible damage, use a tinted leather repair cream that matches your jacket’s color. If the scratch is deep or spreads over time, consult a professional leather care specialist to restore it without further risk.
