NSM Jackets

Care for the jacket you wear.

A few simple habits help protect the shape, surface and feel of your leather jacket.

Between wears

Use a broad, padded hanger to support the shoulders. Store your jacket somewhere cool and dry with room for air to circulate. Keep it away from direct sunlight and radiators.

If it gets wet

Gently blot away moisture with a soft cloth and let the jacket dry naturally. Avoid a hairdryer or direct heat.

Cleaning and conditioning

Wipe smooth leather gently with a soft cloth. Before applying a leather-care product, check that it suits the finish and test it on a hidden area. Suede needs products and tools made for suede; do not apply ordinary leather conditioner.

When to call a specialist

For persistent stains or a full clean, use a leather-care specialist. If you are unsure about your jacket’s finish, send our team the product name before treating it.

Leather Jacket Care & Maintenance

A little regular care keeps a genuine leather jacket looking good for years: avoid prolonged sun and heavy rain, condition every few months, and store it properly when not in use.

Different materials need slightly different treatment. Suede benefits from a suede brush and avoiding water altogether, while shearling should be spot cleaned and left to professional cleaners for anything deeper. Smooth leather is the most forgiving and holds up well with an occasional leather conditioner.
