How to Wash Your Leather Jackets

I love my leather jackets. Since they are old, I don't want to spend too much money dry cleaning them so every summer I wash them myself.

Warning: This can ruin the leather or the insulation material inside. It will discolor the leather. It really did not matter to me so I went ahead and washed them.

Make sure it's a nice sunny day when you wash your jackets.

Set your washer to gentle cycle and add detergent.

Let the washer run through the whole cycle and spin dry the jacket.

After it has spined dried the jacket, take out of washer and place on a heavy duty hanger.

Hang outside to dry, it takes a few hours to dry completely. Half way through, pull jacket inside out to help dry the inside.

I you feel like it, once it's dried run some leather conditioning to preserve the leather.

Put away your clean jacket and its ready for next winter.
