Leather Jackets: FAQs

Is a leather jacket worth it?

Yes. A well-made leather jacket lasts for decades, softens with wear and works with almost everything.

How should a leather jacket fit?

Snug at the shoulders, with sleeves to the wrist bone; leather softens and gives a little with wear but does not stretch much.

What colour leather jacket is most versatile?

Black is the most versatile, then brown and tan suede.

Can leather jackets get wet?

Light rain is fine; blot it dry and let it dry at room temperature, away from heat, and condition the leather once a season.

What is the difference between lambskin and cowhide?

Lambskin is softer, thinner and lighter; cowhide is thicker, stiffer and more hard wearing.

How do you clean a suede jacket?

Brush it with a suede brush, protect it with a suede spray, and leave stains to a leather specialist.
