Cleaning a leather jacket

Rock Climber · 2006-11-25 12:55:32

It's a Gant and worth a fair bit,but I've been quoted €70 in a dry cleaners for specialist leather cleaning and they say its going to fade ( I dont mind that so much) Does this sound about right? Or what are my options? It's not mingin dirty but does need a good cleaning. Thanks.

Rip off tbh. Get yourself a can of leather cleaner, and you'll be sorted, just spray on, wipe off and it'll keep your jacket clean and prevent it from fading.

Saddle soap and chamois leather, get them in a saddlery shop or a shoe repair place.
Saddle soap keeps the leather conditioned and clean.
And smells lovely.
