Cleaning out the closet? 7 Tips for Storing Your Leather
On rainy spring weekends many of us spend time cleaning out our closets. If you own leather clothing and accessories this a great time to ensure that your leather is stored properly. With proper care our classic leather jackets and accessories can last a lifetime. Here are a few tips to help your leather apparel survive the warm season in storage.
•Always use wide or padded hangers to maintain the shape of your leather garments.
•Keep leather out of plastic bags, storage bins or other coverings that do not breathe.
•Always allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally, do not apply a direct heat source.
•Do not store leather on areas that are humid or dry and avoid direct sunlight.
•Clean areas around the neckline and collar with leather cleaner before storing.
•Treat cleaned leather garments with conditioner to restore flexibility.
•Brush suede with a terry towel to freshen up the look.

Remember to store your leather in a closet with plenty of room because leather needs to breathe. A tightly packed closet can lead to a nasty surprise next season when you reach for your favorite leather jacket.
