One of the most versatile leather apparel is the leather jacket; biker style, long, short whatever maybe the style leather jackets has always ruled the fashion world. The leather that you wear in your bedroom is not my concern, but what your wear outside is what makes you look stylish and trendy.

Type of Leather: - Cowhide and goatskin are strong contenders when it comes to breaking ion leather. Lambskin and sheepskin are soft and supple types which are shiny but delicate; since leather is not like any fabric where you can stitch up holes and make permanent marks. Leather needs to be strong to tolerate the abuse of wearing. You need to be careful when wearing it off as the marks once made cannot be recovered.

Follow the Procedures: - The places where a leather jacket can be worn is under arms, collars and sleeves, so always follow the wearing procedures wisely as anything you do to the jacket it cannot be recovered. Leather is a fabric that will wear off naturally and so when you want to follow the unnatural procedures it is advisable to always take it slow.

Wear Leather in Rain: - Water has the quality to loosen up your leather jacket a little, but it is important that you treat your leather jacket immediately after a slight shower falls over it, do not allow your leather jacket to get drenched in rain, if its not raining then sprinkle some amount of water on it to give it a worn off look. Do whatever it takes to add wrinkles to add wrinkles to your new leather jacket.

Roughen your leather: - Use steel wool to rub your leather jacket and scratch the surface unevenly, do not put pressure when rubbing your leather jacket, do it with light hands.

Tell Stories abt your Travel: - Each wrinkle and fold developed on your leather jacket has a story to tell; since you have been doing all this at home make up something good and interesting, so that even we would know what you are cooking….
