Instruction manual
1
To restore the softness and elasticity of the leather jacket, wipe it with a cotton pad dipped in boiled milk or glycerin. To freshen the leather jacket, clean it with soapy water and ammonia. Then take a rag and moisten it slightly in liquid paraffin. Gently wipe the surface of the skin. If you are exposed to rain and your jacket is very wet, then it must be lubricated with a special composition when drying. Take 50 grams of castor oil and mix with one egg white. Beat the mixture thoroughly and apply it on the jacket.

If your favorite leather jacket is stretched, it is not necessary to suture it. You can try to fix this problem with home methods. Thoroughly coat the surface of the jacket with beeswax or waterproof spray. Immerse the product in warm water and leave for a while. Dry the jacket at room temperature, carefully spreading out not on any surface. In case of emergency, you can try to reduce the size of the product by putting it in the dryer on a delicate mode. It should be noted that this method can lead to the appearance of cracks in the skin.

You can rid the jacket of unpleasant odors - for example, the smell of tobacco - using white vinegar. Take a sponge and soak it with vinegar. Gently wipe the surface of the jacket. You can get rid of the smell that has absorbed into the lining with drinking soda. Turn the jacket to the wrong side. Pour in baking soda and lightly moisten it with spray water. Gently spread the resulting mixture over the lining. Let the jacket dry and clean the soda.
