Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a specialized leather conditioner evenly with a soft cloth, following product instructions. Allow to absorb and buff gently.
Minor scuffs or marks on the leather
For light marks, try gently wiping with a clean, dry, soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional leather cleaner or repair service.
Jacket shape is distorted
Ensure the jacket is hung on a proper padded hanger. Avoid prolonged folding. If creases persist, professional steaming by a leather specialist may be required.
Color transfer to other garments
This can occur with new leather. It is advisable to avoid wearing light-colored clothing underneath until the jacket has been conditioned and has had time to 'set'. Ensure professional cleaning has been performed.
