Leather Care and Cleaning

Leather is a natural material. With a little care, your Oujeer jacket will look good and last for many years. Follow these simple tips.

Storage

  • Always hang the jacket on a wide hanger so it keeps its shape.
  • Do not store the jacket in a plastic bag, as it will dry out the leather.
  • Keep the jacket in a cool, dry place, away from humidity and sunlight.
  • Try not to fold the jacket.

Rain

Your jacket can handle a rain shower. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally, away from heaters or other artificial heat, before you put it back in the wardrobe.

Sunlight

You can wear your jacket on a bright sunny day with no problem. But leather is made from animal skin, so leaving it in strong sunlight for a long time can cause early ageing, fading and drying.

Cleaning

  1. Gently brush the jacket with a soft brush to remove any dust.
  2. Clean the jacket with a sponge, cold water and a neutral soap. Do not use hot water.
  3. Remove the soap the same way, using only cold water.
  4. Take off any extra water with a sponge, then shake the jacket so no water marks are left.
  5. Hang the jacket to dry in a well ventilated area, away from direct heat such as radiators.

Things to Avoid

  • Do not dry clean.
  • Do not wash in a machine.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Do not use soap or detergent of any kind.
  • Do not use solvents or bleach.
  • Do not iron or starch.
  • Do not force dry or put near a direct flame.
  • Do not leave leather in direct sunlight for a long time, such as on a rear car window.
