FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

The jacket is designed for a regular fit. It's recommended to check the size chart provided by Diesel and compare it to your own measurements. Consider how you plan to layer; if you prefer wearing thicker items underneath, you might consider sizing up.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket provides wind resistance and warmth from the leather itself. For very cold temperatures, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer garments like sweaters or hoodies.

What is the difference between this waxed leather and other types of leather?

Waxed leather has a coating of wax applied to its surface, which gives it a slight sheen, water resistance, and a distinctive feel. It ages differently than untreated leather, often developing a unique patina over time.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, this jacket should never be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth and specialized leather care products. Machine washing will damage the leather.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency of conditioning depends on your climate and how often you wear the jacket. Generally, conditioning every 6 to 12 months is recommended to keep the leather healthy and prevent it from drying out.

What does the embossed Oval D logo signify?

The embossed Oval D logo is a signature design element from Diesel, subtly representing the brand's heritage and aesthetic on the back hem of the jacket.

Can the snap buttons be replaced if they become loose?

Snap buttons can often be repaired or replaced by a professional tailor or leather goods repair specialist. Contacting Diesel customer service might also provide guidance on authorized repair services.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a specialized waxed leather conditioner following the product's instructions. Ensure the leather is clean before conditioning.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help ease movement.

Scratches or scuffs on the leather

For minor surface scratches, gently rub the area with your finger to help blend the wax. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or professional restoration may be necessary.

Wax transfer to other clothing

This is common with new waxed leather. Allow the jacket to air out, and the excess wax will naturally reduce. You can gently wipe down the interior lining if transfer persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires minimal setup as it is ready to wear upon purchase. Its primary care involves maintaining the waxed leather finish.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For more persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months, depending on usage), apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for waxed leather. This helps to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding or storing in plastic bags, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
  4. Water Exposure: While waxed leather offers some water resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Protection: Consider a leather waterproofing spray suitable for waxed finishes for added protection, especially if you anticipate frequent exposure to moisture.
