Antonio, I made several comments to your video regarding the maintenance of leather jackets because I have the practical experience to appreciate that some of the viewers asked for supplemental information. I could only help those people by providing broad brush guidance simply because I have been out of the Speciality Chemical sector for half a century. But I entered it when detergents were a revolutionary product and not trusted by many housewives. While I fully understand that the range of options for cleaning products has improved, the underlying technology has not. It's only the retail sector Brand names that have changed, though the global market only has a few players, so any information you provide in future videos would be globally useful if you reference the multinational companies as well as the regional specialists, because they survive by providing better servicing. The manufacturer of the Speciality Chemical products you used in the demonstration would be able to answer the questions I have just raised. I appreciate the quality of your presentation because I started my I.T career when everyone in IBM, from the President to the Junior Salesman had to make product presentation at least once a week, because seminars and workshops were the only way to kick-start the Computer Industry. It was as tough as nails and your job security was the end of the month results. And every one dressed in a style that mirrored your videos, right down to the polished shoe's, which were touched up during the day on the industrial size shoe polish machine that was installed in the washroom alongside a full length mirror, when the general office dress code was straight out of Mad Men, when my prime clients were the TV stations and the international Advertising Agencies. But the pay scale was amazing and so was the lifestyle, with mirror shine dress shoes compulsory. Phil.

@@craigm8461 Kiwi was an Australian company that is now owned by Johnson. As I used to ride a Triumph Tiger 100 all over the country 24/7, when modern waterproof riding gear was not available I wore a Barbour Jacket style leather coat often through mountains where it rained endlessly for days, but I stayed dry because I treated my leather jacket with Kiwi shoe polish on my brown leather coat and used Kiwi Parade Gloss on my black jacket. In Australia, until about a year ago the Parade Gloss incorporated Carnuba wax, which is very expensive and is no longer referenced on the tin. But Kiwi has recently introduced an extended range of polishes and conditioners in tubes, which I have found to be very good when I set out to revive a second-hand motorcycle jacket and a couple of pairs of boots that I found in a Charity Shop. While I am very satisfied with the results produced by the new range of Kiwi shoe polish and conditioners, it took several applications and lots of elbow grease. I recommend you try the conditioners before the next application of polish. Phil.

@@nullnull3355 As I am in Australia, I do not know the brand names of the laundry products available in the U.S. but what you need to buy is any aerosol spray made to treat shirt collars before they are put into the washing machine. You can very carefully spray the mist onto the stained area, then let it soak in for about 30 seconds, then sponge it off with a face washer dipped into hot water, but you only need enough water to emulsify the solvent on the suede. The product that I used to use was called Preen and it was sold in small aerosol cans. But that product has been bought by the company that makes Vanish, an alternative to bleach, and the new product called Vanish Preen is a water based "presoak" product that effectively forms a foam to enable it to remain on the stained area while it reacts with the stain. In theory this should work for you, but an aerosol spray is better because it uses very volatile solvent. The short story is that the aerosol product works in exactly the same manner as a spray-on hose off car engine cleaner. The difference is that human body grease is very hard to dissolve. The same grease builds up on shirt collars. Car engine cleaner has a medium grade solvent, combined with an emulsifier. It dissolves the grease on the engine, which is then emulsified when sprayed with water. Cleaning a shirt collar, or a suede jacket collar works exactly the same way. But be patient. If the stain is not removed on the first application, let the suede dry completely before repeating the process. I have just done this to remove a household cooking oil stain from a blue suede loafer. Phil.

Disagree. Full and top grain ("Finished" or "shiny", upper skin section) leather doesn't suffer damage when soaked in water, nothing bad will happen to these products if you get caught in heavy rain, they will actually get softer, more supple and look better. The thing that actually ruins leather is fast drying it, meaning: hanging it out in the sun, using heat guns or hair dryers, or non appropiate cleaners like non leather specific soap and stuff, that will actually destroy the leather. Nor moisture alone damages the leather, as i stated in another comment, you don't need silicone spray for full grain leathers, rather only on suede.

Used these tips to restore my inherited jacket from my Grandpa. He passed away in 2020, and this is what I have of him. It looks so much richer and healthier now. Now it will last another generation, with his wear still sealed in. and keeps me warm at my construction job. Thank you!

My oldest leather jacket is nearly 25 years old. I have never done a single thing to it in terms of cleaning and conditioning. It is weathered and distressed and more beautiful and badass than ever. I have several leather jackets and none get more head turns and compliments than my 25 year old biker jacket that looks like it went to hell and back. I have seen pre-distressed jackets selling for 10x what it cost and not look half as good.

I bought 2 leather jackets for my son from a charity shop, 1 very soft black Italian leather and 1 beautiful tan. My son wore the black one for ages and it was in desperate need of cleaning, I couldn't find anywhere to get it cleaned, so I put it in the washing machine on 30 degrees with an arial washing pod for colour wash for 40 minutes. I was dreading what condition it was going to be in 😨 When it finished I took it out the washer and was so pleased with the results. It smelt lovely and clean, but was a bit wrinkly, I put it on a hanger and reshaped it like you do with woolen jumpers. When it completely dried I used carnauba cream to feed the leather. The end results are brilliant. It'll need doing again soon because it's his favourite jacket and it only cost £4😊

Good info, as always.

With any vintage leather jacket, including Schott, the challenge may be trying to outlive the jacket, because in the past the main reason why quality leather was expensive, and why it would last for 40-60 years, was because of the labour intensive preparation. The leather used in India and China, in the main, is prepared very quickly, and it falls apart quickly. Phil.

I used to use olive oil on my leather jackets and they are doing fine. Some of my leather jackets are 14 yrs old!!!I recently used normal mustard oil to darken my navy colored leather jacket and it is looking awesome.i did try some so called leather conditioners but I think after using them edible oil is the best. Do it at your own risk but definitely don't use oil on suede and nubuck leather.

I'm kinda poor and fund a nice deal of a expensive leather jacket out thrifting and this is a big help with keeping it nice

Good solid advice 🇬🇧👍

I own four skin rackets. Two are leather with a smooth leather finish like the jackets you showed . One that is made from goat skin with a smooth finish and one that is made of pig skin with a rough nubuck finish. The three smooth finish jackets get a once a year cleaning the way you show. They also get a three times a year conditioning as that is how often i do the leather seats in my car. Spring, mid summer and late fall as i put the car away. Same with my jackets. The newest of which is 25 years old. Two of the jackets are custom made by a small Maine Company that is four generation old. My favourite is on based on a Brooks Brothers Safari jacket i was given in the early 1980s as a College Graduation Present. The Leather Split Skin Jacket made in the early 90s last year had the sleeves replaced by the grand daughter of the original maker using the original patterns he made. When i went to pick it up there were five more copies of it waiting for pick up and the gran daughter showed me hers. With all my leather jacket only the liners have needed replacement. Quality shows.

How do you clean and condition your rough finished pigskin jacket? Have you ever had to remove stains from it? Bought my son a bomber style jacket that is a rough finished pigskin, and somehow he got what looks like drops of red food coloring (cherry slushie?) on the back of it. Of course, he didn't mention the stains until two weeks later, so they've pretty much dried on the jacket.

This is how I maintained my two leather jackets( brown goat skin and black bovine skin) for the past 5 years. As stated here, I wiped it with dry/wet cloth depending on the condition. I also applied leather conditioner once or twice a year. And here's the rub... I used shoe polish to seal in the conditioner. The shoe polish being wax also acts as liquid repellant. Any faded or wear and tear spot of the leather can be covered with the shoe polish. Lastly buff with a clean cotton cloth.

@@alexsv1834 Alex if you still have the jacket you can still revive it, because based on the information you provided you haven't destroyed the leather, you have just removed some of the natural oils out of the natural leather hide that was used to make the jacket. Fifty years ago I used the technical advice provided by the Industrial Chemist at ICI, when it was the largest Chemical Supply Company in the world to make the world's best general purpose engine cleaner, that was exclusively used in Australia by Rolls Royce. Why that is relevant, is because it is highly unlikely that the engine cleaner you used to clean your jacket was of that quality, because it would be too expensive for general domestic applications. How that benefits you is the product probably used some form of kerosene as the solvent, because it is cheap. The other ingredients in the engine cleaner is just a basic dish washing detergent and an emulsifier to simply make the dirty kerosene mix with water from the hose. What that means is that because the kerosene is not a powerful solvent, because it has had the volatile aromatics, such as benzol. xyzlol and toloulene removed, it most likely only removed the surface level natural oils in the leather. So clean it with saddle soap, or one of the leather soap cleaners made for high quality leather furniture, then start again from scratch by applying cream leather dressing. You will probably need to do that about four times and allow a day between each application. When it finally feels soft and supple, then you can polish in the way Antonio demonstrated. If the colour is uneven you can adjust that by using colour cream polish and a bit of patience. It will work if you will. Phil.

@Alex Miller. As an old motorcyclist who used a motorbike for daily transport, which often included 100 mile trips across mountain ranges where it regularly rained I kept one jacket for more than twenty years then my daughter used it to wear to University, when that was fashionable. While I followed all of the maintenance procedures that are well explained by Antonio, every month I spent about two hours applying three coats of quality shoe polish to enable me to ride for many hours in heavy rain. But you need to do it regularly and keep the protective layers of polish thick enough to repel the rain. But if you are tempted to dry out by hanging the jacket near a heater, or in front of a fire you will ruin the jacket because the leather will go hard and sometimes it cannot be saved. Phil.

What you can also do if you have a black leather jacket you can rub obenaufs or other waterproofing leather conditioners on. They do contain waxes which makes it water resistant so it may darken leather, that's why do it on black or darker color leather

Pelle pelle leather jackets are the only kind I wear. I use saddle soap and water for removal of stains. A lot of times I've been fine with mink oil... It seems right. Most of the time the jacket looks fine 👌. Am I doing the right thing? It's either that or send it to arrow

Great video. I have a bomber jacket gifted to me from my brother in 1987 which was made of superior leather because although faded, it has remained supple and has not cracked. The cuffs and waist are not stretched out although made of a stretchy sweater like fabric which is quite impressive.I treated it completely only once back in 1991 with real mink oil and nothing since. Your video wants me to bring it back to peak form. But the challenge is that now, the lesser exposed areas are dark ( like at the armpits and under the collar) and very faded at the exposed ares (extensor surfaces of the arms and at the upper portions of the shoulders). Do I need to treat these areas differently in order to even it out prior to applying a fresh conditioner treatment? I was going to use saddle soap, then Lexol conditioner followed by spot recoloring of very faded areas with colored leather cream.

@RPM. I am currently working on reviving a 30 years old leather jacket that I bought for $A40 in a Charity Shop. As it was stained and badly faded, that was a very high price, but I just loved the style and patina. I am doing exactly the same as you plan to do and I had the same questions. All I can tell you is that it's a lot more difficult than what I thought it would be. As the stains and the fading evened out a bit, after two treatments with saddle soap I am now applying the shoe revival cream, but it has soaked up four applications before the surface looked suitable for the application of the cream polish. So you'll need to have lots of patience if you want to end up with a jacket that looks like Antonio's. Phil.

If they are faded but clean i would advice a stain and then a conditioner, just use saddle soap if it is extremely dirty. On old leather, saddle soap can overdry it and get it to crack. Hope this helps

Left a leather bag by an air vent. No cracks but it's got a noticeable dry patch by the side exposed to heat of the vent. Which product should I use to remedy that?

... leather jackets are far far more durable than your giving them credit. "only use distilled water".. /rofl
