Calfskin Leather Care
Care Instructions for Your Calfskin Leather Coat/Jacket
General Care:
- Store your leather piece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying out.
- Use a padded or wide hanger to maintain the garment’s shape.
- Avoid overloading pockets or stretching the leather with unnecessary weight.
Cleaning:
- Spot Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently blot (not rub) any spills or stains. Avoid using water on oil-based stains.
- Deep Cleaning: Take your coat/jacket to a professional leather cleaner as needed. Do not attempt to machine wash or dry clean.
Conditioning:
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain softness and prevent cracking. Test the product on a hidden area first.
Weather Protection:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or snow. If your leather gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally, away from heat sources.
- Use a leather protector spray designed for calfskin to add a layer of water resistance.
Avoiding Damage:
- Keep the leather away from oils, perfumes, and sharp objects.
- Do not place adhesive items (like name tags or stickers) directly on the leather.
Storage:
- When storing for a long period, cover with a breathable cloth bag (never plastic) to protect it from dust while allowing airflow.
- Avoid folding; creases can be difficult to remove from leather.
Repairs:
- For scratches, scuffs, or tears, consult a professional leather repair specialist.
With proper care, your calfskin leather coat or jacket will remain a timeless and durable addition to your wardrobe for years to come.
