Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this gilet is made of genuine leather, it does not require a 'setup' process, but it does require proper handling upon arrival. If the leather feels slightly stiff initially, wear it for short periods to allow the material to conform to your body shape.
For care and maintenance:
- Avoid exposing the leather to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause cracking.
- If the gilet gets wet, hang it up in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to air dry naturally.
- Use a professional leather cleaner or conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
- Store on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
- Keep away from sharp objects that might snag the quilted stitching.
