By the time I got back home, it was raining hard. Fully soaked head to toe.

How do I revert the damage?
Anyone recommend a dry cleaners that deal with leather jackets?

 

[RonnieRev]

Hang it up and let it dry

 

[vrus]

just take a towel and dry it, and then hang it somewhere. get some mink oil and apply after dry.

Thanks, will this remove all the wrinkles?


I'm going to see if walmart sells mink oil tomorrow.

For the wrinkles I rub it good with Saddle Soap, kinda massage them out (they sell it at horse places, greenhawk, etc.)

Thanks, I'm probably going for the cheaper solution.

Is saddle soap same as leather conditioner?
Which cost less, mink oil or saddle soap?

If you care about your leather:

I've used 'em all........saddle soap, Dr Bailey's, brand name leather conditioners.
Nothing tops Neatsfoot oil. (excellent for baseball gloves too).

Use olive oil on my leathers, Cheap, plentiful, and works like a charm.

This or I've used dubbin which is available in places like crapy tire. Both work better than anything else I've ever tried.

I'll probably buy an one piece rain suit later this summer.

Neatsfoot oil was out of stock.. Where do they sell this, other than Home hardware.

How long before it goes rancid in the sun?

You can get neatsfoot oil at Tandy Leather in Scarborough or Mississauga. I use saddlesoap for cleaning, but it isn't really a conditioner. Mink oil is thick and leaves a slipper coating. I guess it's Ok for boots. Ditto for Dubbin. Heat mink oil and dubbin up with a hair dryer so it soaks in well, then wipe the excess off. I prefer Lexol.

This. I left dubbin on my one jacket over night. Cleaned it thoroughly the next morning and it came out perfect.

Dubbin can yellow white leather.

Fiebings Aussie Leather conditioner. Recommended by John Bickle. Available through him or Tandy Leather.

One jar lasts a long time.

Dry leather slowly, and there should be no damage. I try to hang mine on a properly shaped hanger when its wet, to keep the shoulders in shape. Hang it above a floor register so it gets a flow of air moving over it. May take a day if its really soaked.

I use some kind of leather treatment once a year, that's all you need on good quality leather.
