Materials & properties
Leather jackets are available in different types of leather, which differ in look, feel and comfort:
- Cow leather: Particularly robust and durable, ideal for striking biker and pilot jackets.
- Lamb leather: Softer and lighter than cow leather, perfect for elegant, supple styles.
- Suede: Has a velvety surface and a particularly elegant look – but requires more care.
- Nappa leather: Smooth, fine leather with a luxurious feel, used for high-quality fashion.
Care instructions for your leather jacket
To ensure that your leather jacket retains its beauty for years to come, follow these tips:
- Regularly waterproof: This protects against moisture and stains. This is particularly important for suede or nubuck leather.
- Do not clean in the washing machine: Leather requires special care products – for a thorough clean, a professional leather cleaner is recommended.
- Airing instead of washing: Airing the jacket is often enough to neutralise odours.
- Avoid creasing: Hang on a wide hanger so that the leather does not warp.
- Avoid direct sunlight: UV radiation can fade the colour and dry out the leather.
