Caring for leather jackets, coats and clothing

A high-quality leather garment is a lasting investment that requires specific care to preserve its beauty and functionality over time. BARONE FIRENZE recommends following some guidelines for taking care of your leather outerwear.

Storage: store your leather garments in a moderate environment, avoiding excessive humidity or dryness and exposure to direct sunlight.

Use padded or wooden hangers to preserve the shape, being careful not to stretch the leather.

Always store your garments in a breathable cotton or fabric bag, avoiding plastic dry-cleaning or vinyl bags that prevent air circulation and drying of the leather's natural oils.

Drying: if your leather garment gets wet, let it air dry naturally, avoiding heat sources. Once dry, you can treat it with a specific conditioner to restore its shine and flexibility. Avoid petroleum-based products or mineral oils, which can dry out the leather.

If the garment is suede, brush it gently with a sponge towel.

Cleaning: for most cases, it is best to entrust the cleaning of leather garments to a trained professional. A regular dry cleaner is not equipped to handle the specific needs of leather and can dry out the natural oils that keep leather supple and healthy. However, for minor stains or routine cleaning, you can use leather-specific products and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.

In general, paying attention to the storage, drying and cleaning of leather garments is the key to keeping them in excellent condition and enjoying their beauty and functionality over time.
