Leather jackets are classy and stylish. They never go out of fashion, allowing you to continue using them for years to come. However, maintaining leather can be a bit daunting, but if done carefully, they look as good as new every time you wear them.

The leather then has different finishing, including embossed, Nappa, nubuck, suede, die-cut, embroidered, patent, printed, split, aniline, brush-coloured, degrained, metallic, pigmented, waxy, semi-aniline, etc. The characteristics and quality of the material differ based on where the finishing of the hide is done. Other factors that may influence the quality of leather include the breed of animal, the food they have been fed, the climate they were raised in, the exercise they underwent, etc. Hides are natural, and the life of the animals is what impacts their quality. Always remember to check the labels to determine the type of leather and the material of the lining from which it is made. Leather jackets are not meant to be washed using a washing machine or immersed in water. However, to prevent the build-up of grease or dirt, wiping it with a damp cloth and conditioning it helps in the build-up of mould. The jacket should be dried; naturally, it shouldn’t stay damp for long. Jackets with cotton or polyester lining can be maintained using the same method but if the lining is rayon or silk, then avoid doing anything at home. The job is meant for a specialist!
