Suzanne leather jacket - By Malene Birger - Black

The Suzanne leather jacket is best suited for transitional weather. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with warm garments underneath. It is not designed as a heavy winter coat.

The frequency of conditioning depends on your climate and how often you wear the jacket. Generally, conditioning once or twice a year, or whenever the leather feels dry, is sufficient.

While the leather can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Consider using a leather water-repellent spray for protection. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place, ideally in a breathable garment bag to allow air circulation and protect it from dust.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. If the scuff persists, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Leather naturally molds to the wearer's body shape over time, which can lead to a slight, comfortable stretching. However, significant stretching is usually a sign of improper care or a poor initial fit.

Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is stored away from heat and dry environments.

Hang the jacket on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period (do not let it get wet), or consult a professional leather cleaner for pressing.

This is irreversible. Store the jacket away from direct sunlight to prevent future damage. Professional restoration may be an option for severe discoloration.

Gently try to unstick the zipper. For persistent issues or damaged buttons, consult a tailor or cobbler specializing in leather goods for repair.
