Suzanne leather jacket - By Malene Birger - Black

The Suzanne jacket is designed for year-round wear and layering. While it provides a good base layer, for very cold weather, you may need to add warmer layers underneath or choose a heavier outerwear piece.

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

No, this leather jacket should never be put in a washing machine. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth for spot cleaning or via professional leather cleaning services.

Genuine leather develops a unique patina with age and use, which often enhances its appearance. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading.

For minor stains, try gently dabbing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, it is best to consult a professional leather cleaner.

Sizing can vary slightly. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart and consider your intended layering habits when choosing your size.

Apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure it's stored away from heat and direct sunlight.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a clean, soft cloth. A leather conditioner may also help to blend minor marks.

Air out the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. You can place an open box of baking soda or a sachet of activated charcoal inside the jacket while storing it.

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down.
