A. â¢To clean your jacket, wet a sponge or cloth with a little bit of mild soap or clothing detergent and water. Wipe the jacket all over with the cloth, but don't scrub. Rinse by wiping a damp cloth using plain water until all of the soap residue is gone.

â¢Sponge up any excess water with a dry cloth, and hang the jacket where it can dry at room temperature.

â¢To prevent cracking, you should rub in oil specially made for leather garments ( You can find that in Wal-Mart or Target and other stores), after your jacket is fully dried.
