Got caught in the rain in my new (not even week old) sheepskin leather jacket. What do I do? Sleep in it? I don't want to damage itIt's already warping in weird ways bros, I'm gonna kms
>>18518934Just hang it up and let it air dry naturally It's just leather
buy a new one
>>18518950I (figuratively) sold my left kidney for it. God hates me>>18518949I'll try to do that but weep meanwhile
>>18518963Doesn't it get too hot for leather in india?
>>18518966Saar I didn't know they had webcams in India saar, turn your webcam off saarIn a few years I might try to get a custom leather shop to remake it if it's ruined but I'm already emotionally attached
Doesnt exsposure to the elements just give it more patina?
>>18518975Depends on how much OP soaked it, a bit is good, a lot is risky, a lot a lot is bad
>>18518978I would say a lot, the inner lining is kinda wet, I can feel it when I wear it
>>18518969>turn your webcam offNo.Your jacket is ugly and ruinedGet aids
>>18519025Who hurt you little man
>>18519033The worldU said turn off your webcamGo to hell jewish spy i will never cover my webcam
it'll fix itself bro trust the plan and wear it
>>18518934Hang it up and let it air dry, then hit it with a bunch of leather conditioner.
>>18519383I hit the company up and they said use olive oil lmao
Another leather jacket thread is not up so I'll just put my thing hereI have mold growing on my jacket, didn't wear it in the whole of spring and summer and took it out and damn thing has mold on it, what do?
OP here, this thing definitely warped, curves where they didn't used to be. Fuck my life
>>18521484I feel sick, I shoulda just googled it instead of making a 4chan thread, especially for an objective question and not a subjective one
>>18521461open your windows from time to time you troglodyte
>>18521461Humidity. Isolate it asap from other organic clothing it can spread and destroy everything permanently especially cotton. Spray vinegar on the jacket and wipe it down. If you see mold on the inside lining then unfortunately it's done for and needs to be thrown out
>>18521461Soak it in Eucalan after spraying it with vinegar, and use an ozone generator in your home to kill off spores. Clean all of your clothes, closets and surfaces. Maintain and allow constant air flow, and remove humidity.
>>18521900I do, just not in my long term clothing closet>>18522487Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuckThe inner lining is fine, but it's polyester or something like that>>18522491Don't have an ozone generator but I'll try the lest
>>18519847Don't do it. Just let it air dry and it'll be fine.
>>18518934Did you wax it properly? If yes, the rain isn't going to hurt it. if not, it's going to harden as it dries. If you dry it with heat, it might even crack. Make sure it gets some airflow, else it might start to rot.Wait until it's fully dry, then get a thin oil (NOT ballistol, that shit is an emulsion and will stop it from ever being waterproof again) and gently massage it in until the leather is supple again, then wax it afterward. That'll fix anything short of massive cracks.
i thought leather jackets were supposed to be rugged, now you fags are crying if it gets a bit wet and gains some actual character instead of looking brand new? christ you people are retards
>>18521484>>18521528Just wax it, you stupid cunt. It will reshape to your body as you wear it.
>>18518934i got a schott perfecto used off ebay and when it arrived i instantly regretted it. they look so stupid irli haven't worn it since and i'm just gonna resell it when i stop being lazy
>>18522690Water actually ruins leather though. It's one thing to have character and patina, it's another to have it warped and damn near ruined>>18522763Yeah, I'll get some beeswax and make some DIY conditioner
>>18522891Just buy some pecards and stop being a retard.
>>18518934Schott jackets are literally all you need.
bump
>>18518934>>18518963The fuck are you crying over? It's a leather coat you meek retard. It'll last longer than you.
>>18522891Do you think motorcyclists never actually rode in their leathers? Leatherbcan take a hell of a beating, stop being a pussy
fucking kek
>>18518934>he fell for the "wear super weak clothing that can't even tolerate getting wet" memehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8XbI9aJOXk
>>18518963buy a new one you broke fucking nigger
>buy shit clothing which can't get wet>cry when it gets wet
>>18526590Leather can get wet, OP is just a retard
>>18518934I bought this today for $8 at the Salvation Army. Eat shit nigger
>>18518963Genuine sheepskin can take water. I had a B3 jacket that survived Canadian snow and rain.
>>18526653Not just OP. There's this idea that leather can't get wet because everybody was wearing cheap polyurethane or vinyk "leather" from the mid 80s to 2000s.It was bikers, skin heads, and people wearing flight jackets that had real leather. Teen and young adult boys and girls were wearing $60 polyurethane jackets from the mall to look cool and then they started to peel in like 2-3 months (like many polyurethane shoes do) and that turned into "leather can't get wet" instead of "don't buy cheap Chinese plastic coats from GAP."
>>18527088When I got older and into high quality leather shoes I realized all the usual "rules" about leather were bullshit Leather can get wet no problem. Just let it dry naturally and it's fine. If it dries out too much condition itThat's all there is too it
>>18527188I just wear shoes with a "genuine leather" upper. I scuff my shoes up too much to warrant quality all leather shoes.
>>18518934throw it in the dryer, dude.
>>18526777>Wilsons Leatherliterally pajeet-tier garments. kek
>>18518934it's a leather jacket you fucking faggotI wore mine to metal concerts and got it ripped, got blood on it, got it soaked in storms, many times just threw it in the corner and left it there all tangled up so it got a bit twisted and wrinkly all overit looks even cooler because now it's wornthat's how leather jackets are supposed to lookyou're wearing edgy clothes not an Italian suitit's not supposed to look like you bought it yesterday, all shinythat's how pajeets wear it because they try too hard
