Dark brown leather welted piping frames every structural join along the shoulders, central spine, and hem line, reinforcing seam integrity while creating clean visual panel definition. Adjustable side waist buckle straps allow you to pull the hem tight to prevent upward cold drafts.

Garment Preservation Guidelines

Outer Leather Shell Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and surface dirt. Condition with a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner every 3–4 months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Keep away from rain; if it does get wet, air-dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid alcohol-based sprays, perfumes, or harsh detergents coming into direct contact with the leather. For deep stains or fading, have it treated by a professional leather cleaner rather than attempting home fixes.

Tan Shearling Fur Collar, Cuffs & Hem
Brush gently with a soft-bristle brush in the direction of the fur to keep it fluffy and prevent matting. Spot clean only — dab (don't rub) with a damp cloth for light marks, then let it air-dry completely. Never machine wash, tumble dry, or use heat on the shearling sections. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight, as tan shearling is prone to fading and drying out faster than darker tones. Fluff gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb if flattened from storage or packing.

Buckle Straps & Hardware
Wipe the buckle straps and metal fittings with a soft, dry cloth to keep them clean and tarnish-free. Adjust buckles gently — avoid overstretching the strap holes. Keep hardware dry; moisture can cause the metal to oxidize or the leather strap to stiffen. Condition the buckle straps along with the main leather shell during regular conditioning.

Front Zipper Maintenance
Zip and unzip in a straight, even motion to avoid misalignment. If the zipper sticks, rub a small amount of beeswax or graphite-based lubricant along the teeth. Keep free of dust and moisture to maintain smooth operation.

Interior Lining Care
Turn the jacket inside out occasionally to air it out and prevent odor buildup. Avoid direct ironing on the lining; use low heat with a protective cloth if needed. Don't overload inner pockets, as this can stretch or tear the lining seams.

Storage & General Handling
Hang on a broad-shouldered hanger to preserve shape — avoid wire hangers. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space using a breathable garment bag, not plastic. Avoid folding for extended periods, as it can crease the leather permanently. Keep away from radiators, heaters, and direct sunlight. For off-season storage, stuff sleeves lightly with acid-free tissue to help hold their shape.
