How to Clean a Leather Jacket

For most cases, it's best to take your leather goods to a reputable professional who specialises in leather cleaning and care. A regular dry cleaner is not equipped to handle leather's specific needs and can dry out the natural oils that keep leather supple and healthy.

For general care and upkeep at home, follow these guidelines:

• Leather: Use a soft, clean cloth to brush off dry dirt or dust or use a slightly damp towel if the dirt doesn't brush right off
• Suede: Use a suede brush to gently clean your garment
• Stains and conditioning: If you plan to use a leather-cleaning product or conditioner, always test it on an inconspicuous part of the garment first before applying it fully
