CARING
FOR A LEATHER COAT
Your chances of
buying a leather coat are pretty good this year. Once you've
invested in one, you'll want to properly store and care for it in
order to get the most mileage out of that investment.
When storing your
leather coat, both on- and off-seasons, always use a strong,
sturdy hanger. Wooden ones are best, since they help the shoulders
bear the brunt of the weight but don't stretch the leather out
irregularly as metal hangers sometimes do.
It's best to leave
any leather items at home if rain is in the forecast. But if you
find yourself in a deluge, towel off any droplets once inside and
allow the leather to air dry, away from a heating source. Have
your leather items dry-cleaned once a year; otherwise, dirt
buildup could cause deterioration. |
