FAQs

What does LWG certification mean for this jacket?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the tannery where the leather was processed meets specific environmental standards related to energy and water consumption, waste water management, and air emissions. It signifies a commitment to more sustainable leather production.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for specific measurements. Generally, measure your chest and waist, and compare these to the jacket's dimensions, considering you might wear layers underneath.

Can this jacket be worn in the rain?

While leather offers some water resistance, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can damage the leather. It's best to avoid wearing the jacket in heavy downpours and to dry it properly if it gets wet.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on your climate and how often you wear the jacket. As a general guideline, conditioning every 6-12 months is recommended. If the leather starts to feel dry, it's time to condition it sooner.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product variant is 'Black - XL'. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the brand, but this guide pertains to the specified variant.

What kind of material are the pockets made from?

The product description specifies the exterior is 100% leather. Internal pocket lining materials are not detailed but are typically fabric.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

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

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize the leather. Ensure you follow the product's instructions and test on a small area first.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair kit or professional attention may be needed.

Jacket smells musty

Air the jacket out in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. You can also place sachets of baking soda or activated charcoal inside pockets to absorb odors.
