For a shirt or a suit, a dress or a coat, dry-cleaning is an effortless way to get your apparel cleaned and pressed and looking as sharp as ever. However, the same does not necessarily apply to leather jackets or any leather products for that matter.
Leather jackets or leather products had undergone a series of numerous processes and treatments to achieve the color that your leather jacket has, to the feel and even the look. While giving your leather jacket for dry-cleaning may get it cleaned, it is not the first option or choice many would take, especially those who love and prize their leather jacket as a valuable possession.
Dry-cleaning would just clean your leather jacket, but also undo all the treatments and processes that it underwent to give you that particular look and feel. So those opting for dry-cleaning should expect a color change, a different feel almost mimicking a leather jacket that belongs to someone else. Many types of leather will also shrink after dry-cleaning and by no fault of its manufacturers.
It is for this reason that leather jacket owners are advised for professional help and assistance when dealing with leather care and maintenance. Professional help here doesn’t mean any dry-cleaning, but individuals who are highly skilled with the ins and outs of leather and which types of leather require which cleaning routine.
Hence, going to a leather professional for any kind of assistance including cleaning would be a great activity to enhance the durability of your leather jacket.
