Instruction manual
1
Having bought a leather jacket, read the instructions for caring for it. As a rule, these recommendations can be found on the label attached to the lining. Getting to know your care tips won't take a lot of time, but it can save you from mistakes. So, when processing jackets decorated with inserts made of other materials, it is not recommended to apply a cleaning agent to decorative pieces of clothing. In addition, the composition used to care for one type of skin may not be suitable for a material of another type.
2
A new leather jacket often has a characteristic odor that can be removed with ground coffee. Spread clothing on a flat surface and sprinkle with dry powder. After a day, shake off the coffee with a soft brush with a round pile in cross section. Do not use this method to remove odors from fair skin, which may leave traces of coffee.
3
Before putting on the new thing for the first time, treat the surface of the jacket with a protective water-repellent compound. A jacket soaked in this way will get wet less, and it is more convenient to remove dirt that may appear on it during wear, from the treated surface. It is best to use protective compounds recommended by the jacket manufacturer.
4
If you are not sure about the quality of the chosen product, try its action on a small area of skin located on the inside of the jacket. To do this, fit the hem at the bottom of the product, wide allowances or the inner side of the cuffs.
5
Despite the abundance of protective sprays intended for processing leather products, clothing made of this material is not recommended to be exposed to heavy rain. If this happens, gently straighten the jacket and remove water from its surface with a soft cloth. Dry your clothing at room temperature by hanging it away from the bright sun, central heating batteries, and heaters.
6
If the surface of the jacket is dusty, clean it with a dry soft brush or sponge. If the clothes are sewn from a porous material, it is worth doing this procedure regularly.
7
To keep the jacket attractive for the time while you are not wearing it, spread it on its broad shoulders and put it in a well-ventilated dark room with air humidity within sixty-seventy percent and a temperature of no higher than twenty degrees. You can put on a leather product a cover made of a material that passes air well.
