Care Instructions:
Proper care is crucial to maintain the longevity and appearance of your sheep leather jacket.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not rub vigorously.
- Professional Cleaning: For thorough cleaning or significant stains, always seek a professional leather cleaner. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean the jacket yourself, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: To keep the sheep leather supple and prevent drying or cracking, use a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for sheep or delicate leather every 6-12 months. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Drying: If the jacket gets wet, hang it on a wide, padded hanger in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use a hairdryer.
- Storage: Store your jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid folding the jacket for extended periods.
- Avoid Direct Heat/Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources can cause the leather to fade, dry out, or crack.
