How to Clean a Mackage Coat (Down, Leather, Fur and Shearling)

To clean a Mackage coat, read the care label sewn inside it first, because Mackage gives each style its own instructions: some down ski jackets go in a home washing machine, while coats with leather trims, shearling and most fur pieces go to a leather specialist for dry cleaning with oil-based solvent. A Mackage piece from the women’s coats edit such as the belted Beverly carries a “do not wash” warning on its shearling collar, while the Rayna-X ski jacket can be machine washed once its fox collar comes off. This guide covers the Mackage specifics; for the general method, see how to wash a down jacket.

Can you put a Mackage coat in the washing machine?

Some, yes. Mackage marks many of its ski jackets and lighter down pieces as machine washable, and its care guide says to wash down in a domestic machine on a normal setting with mild detergent. The temperature changes by style, so the label beats any general rule. Here is what the FW26 product pages say.

Washable down: the Mackage steps

Close every zipper. Take off the fur collar and any other removable trims, then turn the jacket inside out. Wash at the temperature on the label with a mild detergent and take the coat out as soon as the cycle ends; Mackage says do not soak, do not wring and do not bleach. Dry on low heat with clean tennis balls, which break up clumps of down, until the coat is completely dry. That usually takes 1 to 3 hours, and a coat that still feels damp in the middle needs more time.

Two exceptions stand out. The Jaxton says “do not tumble dry”, so hang it instead. The Iclyn-DNM and Kairi-GLO both say “do not dry clean”, so washing at 30C is the only route for those two.

How do you clean a Mackage coat with leather trims?

Take it to a professional. Most Mackage down coats with leather welt pockets, leather plackets and leather tape carry the same instruction: “Dry clean by leather specialist using oil based solvent only. Do not use perchloroethylene.” The Shyla-NF, with its leather welt storm placket, carries this label. So does the men’s Robert, which mixes sheepskin panels and lamb leather with quilted down. Mackage’s care guide is clear that non-removable leather goes to a leather specialist only. For more on leather pieces, read our guide to Mackage leather jackets.

How do you clean a Mackage fur collar?

Remove a detachable fur collar before any washing, and never put it in the machine. Mackage says to detangle fur with your fingers only. For anything beyond a light brush with your fingers, use a fur specialist. The fox collars on the Rayna and Auxane ski pieces are removable, which is what makes their shells washable. Our guide to Mackage coats with fur lists which trims come off.

How do you clean Mackage shearling?

Mackage prints a warning on the Beverly: the collar “is real shearling fur, of 100% natural wool”, so “do not wash. Do not tumble dry. Do not blow dry. Do not steam.” If it gets wet, shake off the excess water and hang it to dry, and send it to a leather specialist if it needs a clean. The same caution applies to the removable shearling bib on the men’s Riley, which is labeled for a leather specialist. See Mackage shearling jackets for the full range.

Are Mackage coats waterproof?

No. Mackage describes its FW26 down coats and ski jackets as “water repellent and water resistant”, and none of the product pages gives a waterproof rating. A few styles go further on construction: the Jaxton has a fully seam-sealed build, and the Frost-DNM lists seam-sealed construction. Our guide waterproof ratings explained covers the difference.

How should you store a Mackage coat?

Make sure the coat is completely dry, then hang it in a breathable garment bag, not plastic. Mackage’s product labels say a garment “must be stored in the original garment bag, never in plastic polybag.”

Does Mackage repair and replace fur?

Mackage offers a warranty against manufacturing defects for the practical lifetime of its outerwear, on pieces bought from authorized Mackage retailers. Ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories are excluded. To request a repair, Mackage asks for the invoice, photos and the P.O. number from the small tag near the fiber label; the customer pays shipping to Mackage and Mackage pays the return. Repairs take 2 to 8 weeks. Fur is not covered unless a style is deemed defective, but replacement fur can be bought through after-sales service. If you are unsure about a coat’s origin, read how to tell if Mackage is real.

A coat that fits well also wears better between cleans, so check the Mackage size guide and the Mackage warmth ratings before choosing a winter 2026/27 coat.
