Troubleshooting
Stiff zipper operation
Apply a small amount of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide.
Surface scuffs on leather
Use a high-quality leather conditioner that matches the brown tone to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Jacket feels stiff after storage
Wear the jacket for short periods to allow natural body heat and movement to soften the leather fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in optimal condition, professional leather cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing or standard dry cleaning, as these can strip the natural oils from the leather. For daily maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces, which can cause the leather to crack. Store the jacket on a broad-shouldered hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape over the off-season.
