When it’s a winter season, you have to redo your whole wardrobe, particularly if you live in the area where you experience extremes of both weathers. In such conditions, you cannot just rely on one kind of clothing or one season of clothing since it does not get you covered in the other seasons. A leather jacket is the perfect outfit to wear in the extreme cold seasons, even if it is not that cold, you can always rely on a leather jacket to make you look fashionable yet attractive. Investing on a leather jacket every year is a childish thing to do, not many people do that and neither should anyone.
Nevertheless, one of the many things people struggle with when they have one leather jacket to wear throughout the winter season is keeping them clean and in always wearable condition. You have to make sure your jacket is all clean and does not look worn out in any way when you wear it on the daily basis. One of the many things that you can do for starters is keep it in the wearable condition by getting it washed every now and then. By wash we do not mean you need to machine wash it every other day, you would be making a huge mistake if you do this as the leather comes off pretty much in such cases.
Following are the sum of many ways to keep your leather jacket new as ever.
1) Sunlight Exposure Not Recommended
As bad as sunlight is for your skin, we strongly recommend you do not expose your leather jacket to sunlight unnecessarily. Make sure you are not drying them out in the sunlight whenever you have washed them. Since the direct exposure to sun can be pretty harmful for any of the leather product, not just the jackets that you are donning. The sun does not only fade the color of overall leather but also ends up absorb natural oils along with the moisture as well. Further the absorption includes the leather skin as well, which eventually ends up creating cracks on the jacket, which obviously is not very attractive. We further suggest, you must keep your leather products away from anything that releases heat.
2) Plastic Bags are a Big NO
