Taking Care Of Ladies Leather Jackets

Author : Marianne Conway


         


Ladies leather jackets and coats can be a very important fashion statement. They are also a very good way to stay warm and dry. Here are some tips for keeping your jacket looking nice and lasting a long time.

Cleaning at Home

Keeping your garment clean should not be too hard, especially if you have smooth material. Many times, a damp cloth will work very well to clean dust or simple dirt. With some stains, you can sometimes use water and saddle soap. However, you should clean a very small part first. This way, you will know if there will be any problems. For suede garments, you may buy a brush that is made for that purpose.

Professional Cleanings

You may need to take your garment for a professional cleaning. When cleaned, it can lose color or fade. Make sure that you have an experienced cleaner for your garments. A good cleaner will restore the color after it fades. This might be why many people do not choose to have light colors cleaned.

Protection from Water

Silicone treatment or mink oil may be the best treatment to waterproof your garment. When you rub mink oil into the skin, it can sometimes darken the finish when it soaks in. If you do not mind a darker finish, this is fine. However, it may be best to treat a very small area first. This will give you a good idea of what it will look like, after you treat it.

Storing in the Off Season

You will not need your garment all year long, so you will need to store it, part of the year. If storing in a closet, be certain that it is cool and dry inside. Always use a hanger that is padded, and do not crowd the garment. This will help to eliminate any wrinkles.

Summary

You can usually keep ladies leather jackets clean with a damp cloth. If you choose to waterproof these garments, test a small area first. Take the same precautions if you clean with saddle soap. In the off season, store in a cool and dry area like a closet. Use padded hangers and do not hang other items of clothing too close, as it may cause wrinkling.
