Leather That Lasts
A Scabal leather jacket is an investment in timeless style and craftsmanship. To maintain its character and longevity, follow these essential care guidelines.
1. Store with Shape in Mind
Use a wide, structured hanger to support the shoulders and prevent misshaping. Keep your leather jacket in a breathable garment bag when not in use—never plastic—to allow natural ventilation and avoid moisture build-up.
2. Let It Breathe
Leather benefits from regular wear and air circulation. Allow the jacket to rest between uses, especially after exposure to rain or humidity. If damp, let it dry naturally at room temperature—never use a heater or direct sunlight, which can dry and crack the leather.
3. Avoid Over-Cleaning
Leather does not require frequent cleaning. For surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps or soaking the material. For deeper care, entrust your jacket to a professional leather specialist.
4. Condition Occasionally
To keep leather supple and prevent drying, apply a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a year. Test on an inconspicuous area first, and avoid over-conditioning, which can alter the finish.
5. Travel with Caution
When travelling, avoid tightly folding your jacket. Instead, wear it or pack it with care in a garment bag. Upon arrival, hang it immediately to allow natural creases to release.
6. Protect from the Elements
While some leather jackets have water-resistant finishes, it’s best to avoid heavy rain. If your jacket gets wet, gently blot with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally. Store away from heat sources, sunlight, and humidity to preserve the leather's natural texture.
