It is highly recommended to seek professional leather cleaning services for these trousers to ensure the material is not damaged. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
How should I store my leather trousers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded or wide wooden hanger to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid folding them tightly for long periods.

Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for apparel. Ensure you follow the product's instructions carefully.
Minor creasing or wrinkles
Allow the trousers to hang naturally. For stubborn creases, a garment steamer on a low setting held at a distance may be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Never use a direct iron.
Small scuffs or marks
For very minor scuffs, a soft, dry cloth can often buff them out. For more noticeable marks, consult a professional leather cleaner.
