What you get out of it

  1. The sleeve of a cared-for leather jacket being flexed, the leather soft

    Soft and supple again

    Re-oiled so the leather does not crack.

  2. A suede jacket being brushed up with a suede brush

    Suede velvety again

    Brushed up, water rings and salt removed.

  3. A sleeve being pinned on the cutting table

    Altered under the same roof

    Sleeves shortened, linings replaced, seams closed.

Leather is treated, not washed

At a specialist

Cleaned, re-oiled, re-coloured

Three operations, in that order. The second is the one everybody forgets.

  • The oils the cleaning takes out are put back
  • Worn patches at collar and cuffs are re-coloured
  • Suede is re-napped rather than flattened
  • The size holds and the leather stays supple
Not repairable

In the machine, or treated like cloth

Once, and the jacket is a different jacket.

  • The leather goes hard and cracks at the folds
  • The colour goes patchy and cannot be evened out
  • It shrinks and never softens again
  • No specialist can undo it

Not sure the jacket is still worth it? Bring it in or send a photo. We will tell you honestly before you spend anything.

FAQ

Questions about leather

Not covered here? One call and you have the answer in a minute.

Why is leather always quoted “on request”?

Because leather pricing depends on condition: the type of hide, the size, colour loss, staining. Bring the piece in and we name a fixed price.

Will the leather get lighter?

A slight loss of colour is possible with any leather cleaning. We re-colour where needed and tell you beforehand what to expect.

Can you save suede with water marks?

Often yes. Suede is cleaned and the nap raised again, and water marks usually disappear completely.

How long does leather cleaning take?

Allow one to two weeks — leather needs time to dry and to take the oil back.
