Are leather jackets machine washable?
The answer is of course "NO".

The washing machine must use water to wash clothes, but the leather jacket will become hard when wet, and the high-speed rotation of the washing machine during the washing process will accelerate the occurrence of problems such as damage and fading of the leather jacket.

- Lay the leather jacket flat and wipe off the dust with a towel.
- Use a clean cotton cloth or cotton ball dipped in leather cleaner or neutral cleaner to wipe off the stains on the surface of the leather jacket.

What should we do if our leather jackets are wrinkled?
When a leather jacket is wrinkled, we can use a non-steam iron(no steam iron). We need to put a silk or cotton cloth on the leather jacket and gently iron out the creases at a medium-low temperature, forbidding the iron to touch the leather jacket surface directly. During the ironing process, move the iron back and forth and do not stay too long in one place. In addition, we should avoid squeezing when collecting leather jackets.
