Protecting your leather jacket from water, stains, and environmental damage is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity. At Vachette we provide expert guidance to help you keep your jacket safe in all conditions.
Leather is naturally durable but can be vulnerable to moisture, rain, and spills. Without protection, water can cause stains, discoloration, and even damage the fibers, leading to cracks over time. Proper waterproofing preserves the leather’s texture, color, and flexibility.
Choose the Right Product: Use a high-quality, leather-safe waterproofing spray or conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the leather.
Test First: Apply the product on a small, hidden area to ensure it does not alter the jacket’s color or finish.
Apply Evenly: Spray or rub the waterproofing product evenly across the surface, covering seams, zippers, and edges.
Dry Naturally: Allow your jacket to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat, which can dry out the leather.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure: Even waterproofed jackets should not be soaked or exposed to rain for extended periods.
Regular Maintenance: Reapply waterproofing products every few months or after heavy use in wet conditions.
Handle Stains Promptly: Clean minor spills immediately with a soft cloth to prevent permanent marks.
By properly waterproofing and protecting your leather jacket, you ensure it remains a stylish, durable, and long-lasting wardrobe staple.
