It’s fairly important to store your leather jacket in a safe manner. The reason for this is because leather creases and however you store it, it will want to retain that shape. However if it comes down to it and you have to fold it to travel or otherwise, it won’t damage the leather, it just may take a few days to a week for the creases to work their way out.We always recommend using a coat hanger every time you hang up your jacket. This will keep it’s silhouette mostly intact and allow creases to be smoothed by gravity over time. If you use a normal thin wire hanger, it will crease in odd places and when you go to wear it, those creases will be fairly obvious to anyone looking at it.Some people ask us why we don’t use cedar hangers or recommend them. While cedar has great bug-repellent properties, and it smells great, we aren’t so sure that everyone wants their leather jacket to smell like a cedar closet! Leather is slightly permeable and this smell can linger for days. Use our hanger. If you’ve lost one of our hangers, send us $30 and we’ll ship it out to you as soon as possible. Or go buy any jacket hanger from a store, they’ll be much cheaper! Just make sure it’s a nice thick jacket version.When storing a jacket for any lengthy period of time, be sensible. Don’t put it in your basement where humidity and bugs can get to it. Leather is organic and as a result will decay over time given the right conditions. Mold can even grow on leather’s porous surface given enough humidity! Store it in a closet with relatively low humidity and room temperature on a nice hanger, or fold it very carefully (find a guide on youtube for proper folding etiquette to reduce weird creases).
