    Saddle soap (used for cleaning horse riding tack) is a good leather cleaner. You need to make sure it's not too string for the finish on your coat. A cloth damp with warm water should remove stains also, but could damage the colour of the coat.

    Does the label have any instructions?

    Some info here http://www.typef.com/care-for-leather/

    Use the saddle soap with lanolin to clean and feed the leather. Maybe use a scarf or wear the coat with the collar down to stop the toxic chemicals in the make-up / fake-tan / etc damaging it.
