Prevention<\/h1>\n

Prevention is absolutely key when it comes to the longevity of leather items, and for leather jackets, in particular, this means investing in a good protective spray. When leather gets wet, it is prone to getting watermark stains, the breathability of it is reduced, and it appears more used and stiff. Protective sprays renew the water-repellent properties of leather and provide an extra layer of protection that prevents water from penetrating the material.
