Tips
- Prevention is better than the cure. Regularly treating your motorcycle jacket with a good leather conditioner will help waterproof and protect your leather from the elements. It will save you from having to clean it as often.
- If you have matching leather motorcycle clothing, clean and treat these at the same time to ensure the colour matches.
- Leather and water do not mix very well. If your motorcycle jacket gets sodden in the rain, allow it to dry naturally away from sources of heat, then treat with a leather conditioner to maintain flexibility.
Warnings
- Don't use home remedies. These can often do more harm than good to leather. Give your leather the TLC it deserves with a proper leather care product.
