LEATHER CARE
How to care for your leather jacket?
Follow these few basic tips and you will already save your leather jacket from plenty of trouble!
- When storing leather, hang it on a hanger so it keeps its shape. Like shoes, leather garments adapt to your body shape, so don't lend them to anyone.
- Do not expose leather jackets to direct sunlight for long periods (on the back shelf of a car, for example). Too much heat softens leather and could permanently change its colour.
- Do not cover your leather jacket with plastic covers that stop it from breathing. A fabric or cotton cover is recommended for storage in the wardrobe.
- If your leather gets wet, let it dry on a hanger at room temperature.
- Waterproof your leather well from the very first days!
MATERIALS GUIDE
The different types of leather
When buying a leather garment, it is important to know which type of hide it is made from. Materials directly affect how a product wears. Some are designed to keep you warm, while others complete a summer look. And if you are looking for a fairly light model, or a heavy and stiff one, you will need a different leather.
Our tips and advice by leather type:
Lambskin
Lambskin is a supple, thin and light leather with a soft texture. Prices vary, and it is not unusual to find high-quality jackets at low prices. It is also one of the most widely used leathers for making leather jackets. You can find many models from Serge Pariente, Schott and Gipsy, to name just a few. Lambskin can be washed, dipped, reversed or vegetable-tanned. It all depends on how the leather is treated. The difference lies mainly in the manufacturing or tanning process.
Sheepskin
Sheepskin is supple and light, soft and comfortable to wear. It is more or less thick, depending on the version of the model you choose. Today, most leathers are sheepskin. A true in-between-season material, the jacket becomes like a second skin.
Depending on fashion and brands, several different finishes exist: washed, reversed, etc. You will find completely different products between the Redskins and Oakwood leather jacket ranges, for example.
Shearling is a very popular hide in winter. Warm and thick, it is ideal for the cold season. The inner fur is made of sheep's wool, and the outer side is the raw hide.
Goatskin
Goatskin is hard-wearing and supple. It is recognisable by its slightly grainy surface. Depending on collections and trends, it can be a little stiffer.
Its look also varies. There are waxy (glossy) jackets and more matt ones, but most of the time goatskin is used to make suede jackets, meaning with a velvety look.
Cowhide
Cowhide is one of the toughest hides. It comes in different forms: thick and heavy, or thin and supple. Either way, it keeps the strength that makes it one of the most used hides for protective clothing. It is also widely worn in winter because, on top of these qualities, it keeps you warm.
For example, in autumn, three quarters of Schott jackets are made from this material.
Buffalo leather
Buffalo leather is also among the most hard-wearing materials. It is the hide that ages the fastest. More often used for menswear, it is especially seen on long men's coats. To prevent premature ageing, leather makers have found different solutions. That is why this hide usually has a glossy or oily look.
The glossy look comes from a varnish applied during manufacturing to prevent the leather from ageing prematurely. The oil on the leather is grease applied during manufacturing. It first stops the leather from ageing, and it also extends its lifespan.
Horsehide
Horsehide is the toughest leather, but also the stiffest. Some models can even stand up on their own when placed on the floor! It has a very fine grain and is usually sold with a glossy finish so that it ages as beautifully as possible.
It is the enthusiasts' leather par excellence! It was used to create the very first zipped leather jacket, the perfecto, and it is still used to make the most iconic models!
