FAQs
What type of leather is this coat made from?
The description specifies luxurious leather, implying a high-quality, supple material. For exact leather type, refer to the product's detailed composition label.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The coat has a regular fit, designed for layering, so consider your typical layering needs when choosing a size.
Can this coat be worn in heavy rain?
While the high neck offers some protection, this is primarily a leather fashion coat. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the leather. Professional cleaning is advised if it gets wet.
How should I store the coat when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place on a padded hanger, preferably in a breathable fabric garment bag. Avoid plastic coverings and direct sunlight.
Will the leather colour fade over time?
Leather can develop a patina over time, which is a natural process that enhances its character. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper storage helps maintain the colour.
What occasions is this coat suitable for?
This coat is versatile, suitable for both workwear and weekend styling, as well as relaxed luxe occasions. It pairs well with both tailored pieces and more casual outfits.
How do I care for the adjustable cuffs?
The adjustable cuffs feature buckle detailing. Ensure the buckles are kept clean and free from debris. The leather straps should be treated with conditioner periodically, like the rest of the coat.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure the coat is stored away from heat sources.
Minor scuffs or marks on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant marks, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Buttons feel loose
If buttons feel loose, carefully reinforce them with a needle and thread suitable for leather. If a button is detached, seek professional repair.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: This is a leather product and should be professionally cleaned by a leather specialist only.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Avoid plastic garment bags, as leather needs to breathe; a breathable fabric garment bag is recommended.
- Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Always test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Exposure: While the high neck offers protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended for leather. If the coat gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
