by Sam Darby
Leather garments have emerged in popularity over the past decades. Leather has become the paradigm for those who are cool, with-it and avant-garde. And this is not your grandfather’s leather. It comes in butter soft textures, traditional and explosive colors and in garments from everything baby clothes to underwear.
Leather is also the preferred choice for motorcycle riding. A quality piece of leather has been the only thing protecting a rider from the pavement. Studies have shown that a leather garment will have twenty times the survival rate to denim. Indeed leather is the best option when riding a motorcycle. Research and years of common use indicate that leather is one of the strongest and most durable materials that you can wear. With the proper care your leather apparel can last indefinitely.
Here are some suggestions that can lengthen the life of your leather garments: • Always hang leather on wide hangers to maintain their shape.
• Do not store leather in plastic bags or non-porous covers.
• Leather can dry out and crack without proper care and conditioning.
• Wrinkles will fade away while the jacket is hanging. Do not iron and never steam.
• Do not store in very humid and dry settings or in direct sun.
• Do not use waxes, silicone products or other leather preparation products that impair the materials ability to breathe.
• Hems may be fixed with a tiny amount of rubber cement.
• Seek out a professional leather specialist if the garment gets badly worn or soiled.
• Allow wet or damp leather to dry naturally away from a heat source.
• Leather can be treated with a leather conditioner to restore flexibility and proper moisture levels.
• In winter promptly remove salt deposits from garments by sponging with clear water and use the above method for drying.
