How to Repair a Leather Jacket?
regisivjos
I had this leather jacket jacket that I have had for about 7 years, and because of it's age the leather is getting worn. There are no tears in the leather, it is just getting dull looking. Is there a way to repair that and bring it back to its leather shine?
Answer
Go to a tailor, they often have supplies for maintaning clothes :)

Need a black leather jacket repaired?
SSTLM
My husband stupidly stuck a sticker (name tag) on his expensive Italian black leather jacket. When he took it off, he ripped little pieces of the leather off with the sticker. Now you can see a huge outline across his chest of where the sticker used to be.
What can we do now?? We don't know any place who repairs leather and we're afraid they might do a botched-up job. Please help.
PS - Any places in NY?
Answer
Ugg! Gosh, who would have thought a simple sticker could cause such damage?? I also learned the hard way to never stick anything to my clothing, ever. But, in the future, if you MUST stick a name tag to your clothing, it is best to first quickly stick and unstick it to a garment several times to pick up lots of lint, making the sticker less sticky, so when you go to remove it, it is not stuck.
Leather is a very tricky "fabric" to repair because it is actually a hide and has no weave making up the fibers. I know vinyl can be repaired with melting a substance on the tear to bring it back together, but I doubt highly that would work for leather. The thing about leather is that once a needle hole penetrates the hide, that hole is there for good. Sewing this tear would only highlight
the area with thread and holes. A seamstress is not the professional you need to seek help for this repair.
Contact a luggage, pocketbook or leather car seat repair shop. Someone who specializes in leather repair is your best option. Special techniques and tools are used to make the repair less conspicuous by these professionals. Look through the yellow pages for businesses who specialize in seamless leather repair. Ask to see completed work and ask questions about how they intend to do the work and the expected results. If you are not 100% satisfied with their answers or you get the least bit of an odd feeling, take your jacket and move on to find another person to help you.
Good luck.

How can I repair minor scuffs on my black leather jacket myself?
Ryan
Answer
If the scuffs are really minor try rubbing a very small amount of vaseline on them with a soft cloth.

Answer
Absolutely NOT!!!!! All you'll succeed in doing is staining the jacket. Get some leather renewal cream or even use shoe polish...but never oil of any kind.
