FAQs
What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the tannery follows rigorous environmental standards, covering aspects like water usage, energy consumption, and waste management.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
It's best to hang the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its shape and prevent damage.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No, this jacket is made of 100% leather and should never be machine washed or submerged in water. Refer to the care label for specific cleaning instructions.
Is the jacket waterproof?
While leather offers some resistance to light moisture, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on climate and use, but typically every 6-12 months is recommended to keep the leather healthy and prevent drying.
What kind of items can I fit in the inside pockets?
The inside pockets are suitable for smaller essentials like a wallet, phone, or keys.
Does the embroidered logo affect the jacket's care?
No, the embroidery is designed to be durable and does not typically affect standard leather care procedures.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions to restore suppleness.
Minor scuffs or scratches on leather
Try gently rubbing the area with a soft cloth or a leather cleaner designed for minor blemishes. For deeper scratches, consult a professional leather repair service.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth and try again.
Unpleasant odor upon arrival
Allow the jacket to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days. The natural scent of leather should dissipate over time.
