FAQs

What type of leather is this jacket made from?

The jacket is constructed from 100% cowhide leather.

How should I clean the jacket?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for dust. Use a slightly damp cloth for stains and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, this leather jacket should never be machine washed or dry cleaned by conventional methods. Specialized leather cleaning is required if necessary.

How often should I condition the leather?

It's recommended to condition the leather every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you notice it becoming dry or stiff, especially in arid climates.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a blouson silhouette, which typically offers a relaxed yet structured fit. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate measurements.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The leather offers good wind resistance, but for very cold temperatures, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

What does 'blouson' style mean?

A blouson style jacket is characterized by its fuller body and cinched waist or hem, creating a gathered or 'bloused' effect.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a specialized leather conditioner following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is stored away from heat sources.

Minor scuffs or scratches

For light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a professional leather repair specialist.

Jacket smells musty

Ensure the jacket is stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. You can air it out outdoors (away from direct sun) or use a garment bag designed for leather.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Its primary compatibility is with personal style and other apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For general upkeep, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For stains, use a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically (every 6-12 months, or as needed), apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the hide supple and prevent cracking. Test conditioners on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat, which can dry out or fade the leather. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
