Key Qualities of Leather
- Durability: A well-made leather jacket is an investment that can last a lifetime. It’s a strong material that withstands wear and tear.
- Develops a Patina: This is the most cherished characteristic of quality leather. Over time, with wear, exposure to the sun, and the oils from your skin, the jacket will develop a unique patina—a rich sheen and subtle variations in colour that tell the story of its use.
- Wind Resistance: Leather is naturally wind-resistant, making it an excellent outer layer for cooler evenings and the coming autumn and winter seasons.
- Timeless Style: Leather jackets have been a symbol of cool for nearly a century and never go out of style.
Basic Leather Care (Especially for Multan’s Climate)
Proper care is essential, particularly in a climate like Multan’s, which can be hot, dry, and dusty, with a humid monsoon season.
- Storage is Key: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shoulder shape. Avoid storing it in a plastic bag, as this can trap moisture and lead to mildew, especially during humid months.
- Avoid Direct Sun and Heat: Do not leave your jacket in direct sunlight for long periods (like in a car) as the intense heat can dry out the leather, causing it to become brittle and crack.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner once or twice a year. This will restore essential oils, keep the leather supple, and protect it from drying out in the heat.
- Dealing with Dust: After wearing, wipe the jacket down with a soft, dry cloth to remove any surface dust.
- Getting it Wet: If you get caught in the rain, allow the jacket to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or place it near a direct heat source.
