FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant thanks to the hand-waxed finish, but it is not waterproof and should not be used as a substitute for dedicated rain gear in heavy downpours.

How do I determine if the XL size is right for me?

The jacket follows standard sizing conventions, but we recommend comparing your measurements against a current, well-fitting jacket you already own.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

No. Never put the jacket in a washing machine, as this will destroy the wax treatment and potentially damage the leather.

Does the buckle hardware require special care?

Keep the buckles clean and dry; if you live in a coastal or humid environment, a light wipe with a silicone-based cloth can help prevent oxidation.

Will the leather change color over time?

Yes, the hand-waxed finish is designed to evolve, meaning it will naturally develop a unique patina and darken slightly in high-friction areas.

Is this an authentic motorcycle riding jacket?

While it is inspired by motorcycle heritage, this is a fashion-forward piece. It does not contain the integrated armor or impact-resistant materials required for professional motorcycle riding safety.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff or dry.

The jacket may require a professional re-waxing treatment to restore flexibility and weather resistance.

White marks appearing on the surface.

This is often excess wax from the finishing process; use a clean, dry cloth to buff the area gently.

Fit is tight in the shoulders.

Utilize the accordion side panels by wearing the jacket consistently to allow the material to stretch and adapt to your range of motion.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, avoid storing it in direct sunlight or plastic bags for extended periods. The hand-waxed finish should be maintained by re-waxing periodically to preserve its water-resistant quality. If the jacket becomes soiled, clean it with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp, lint-free cloth—never use harsh soaps or detergents. If professional cleaning is necessary, seek a specialist experienced with waxed leather goods to prevent damage to the finish.
