If you make an investment in a really nice motorcycle jacket, you’re going to want to keep that jacket in the best possible condition. The following are some easy tips to keep that leather jacket looking brand new.
-Do some work beforehand. When you get the jacket home, apply a basic waterproof and conditioning treatment. This extra step will mean you won’t have to worry so much about stepping outside in the rain. And with this treatment, you can add years to the jacket’s life.
-Treat wear and cracks right away. Loose edges can easily be treated with a small amount of rubber cement. If you merely have worn spots, another quick solution is beeswax and mink oil. As an added bonus, this concoction helps stem potential stains.
-Switch to the big guns. If your leather jacket really needs work, you might have to switch to a more professional level treatment. There are plenty on the market, including brands such as Lexol and Snow-Proof.
-Become friendly with a tailor. If your jacket suffers a serious rip or wear spot, no amount of product can restore it to its previous state. In this case, call up your local tailor and see what he/she can do for you. You’d be surprised at the wonders a creative tailor can do for your clothing.
