FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The hand-waxed leather provides water resistance for light rain and spray, but it is not a fully waterproof garment for heavy downpours.

How should I clean my jacket?

Clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use soap or detergent as this will damage the wax finish.

Will the leather change over time?

Yes, the jacket is designed to develop a unique patina through wear, which is considered a hallmark of high-quality, hand-waxed leather.

Can I adjust the fit of the collar?

Yes, the jacket features a buckled collar strap that allows you to adjust the closure for added wind protection.

What is the best way to store the jacket?

Use a wide-shoulder hanger to maintain the jacket's shape and keep it in a well-ventilated, dry area.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff and uncomfortable.

Leather requires a break-in period; wear it regularly to allow the material to soften and conform to your body shape.

Water begins to soak into the leather rather than beading up.

This indicates the wax finish has worn down; re-apply a high-quality leather wax treatment to restore water resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, water-resistant material construction
  • Timeless design that improves with age
  • Ergonomic fit with accordion side panels for mobility
  • High-quality hardware including reliable buckles
  • Versatile for both riding and everyday wear

Cons

  • Requires professional or routine wax maintenance
  • Leather may feel stiff initially before breaking in
  • Less breathable than textile motorcycle jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a hand-waxed garment, initial setup involves simply finding your ideal size to ensure the gussets allow for proper movement. For long-term care, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as this will strip the wax treatment. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior after heavy use. To maintain water resistance, apply a recommended leather wax dressing periodically. Store the jacket on a sturdy wooden hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
