Why Leather Jacket Care Matters
Leather jacket care is not simply about maintenance — it is about respect for craftsmanship. A well-made leather jacket responds directly to how it is treated, developing character or deterioration accordingly. At LORVATO, every jacket is designed to mature gracefully, provided it receives thoughtful care.
Moreover, leather is a natural material. Unlike synthetic fabrics, it breathes, adapts, and evolves with wear. As a result, proper care preserves both structure and appearance, ensuring the jacket remains refined for years rather than seasons.
Cleaning & Everyday Maintenance
Regular, gentle maintenance is the foundation of effective leather jacket care. Surface dust should be removed with a soft, dry cloth after wear. This prevents particles from settling into the grain and causing long-term abrasion.
In addition, avoid excessive cleaning. Leather does not require frequent washing; instead, occasional conditioning helps maintain suppleness. When necessary, use products specifically formulated for leather — never harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners. Consequently, the jacket retains its natural oils and texture without becoming dry or brittle.
Furthermore, spot cleaning should be done carefully. Address marks promptly but gently, allowing the leather to dry naturally afterward.
Proper Storage for Long-Term Preservation
Storage plays a decisive role in preserving leather jackets. Always hang your jacket on a wide, structured hanger to support the shoulders and maintain shape. Folding leather for extended periods can cause creases that become permanent over time.
Additionally, leather should be stored in a breathable environment. Avoid plastic covers, which trap moisture and may lead to mold. Instead, use fabric garment bags that allow air circulation. As a result, the jacket remains fresh, structured, and ready to wear.
Protecting Leather from Weather & Damage
Weather exposure is inevitable, but damage is not. While leather can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or snow should be avoided. If the jacket becomes wet, allow it to air-dry away from heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight.
Moreover, applying a light leather protectant adds an extra layer of defense against moisture and stains. This step is especially important for frequent wearers. As a result, the jacket maintains resilience without compromising softness or finish.
How Leather Ages Beautifully Over Time
One of the most valued aspects of leather jacket care is understanding how leather ages. With proper maintenance, leather develops a rich patina — a visual record of wear that enhances its individuality. This transformation is not wear-and-tear; it is refinement.
Therefore, minor variations in tone or softness should be embraced rather than corrected. They signify authenticity and longevity. At LORVATO, we believe a leather jacket should evolve alongside its wearer, becoming more personal, more expressive, and more distinguished with time.
