To moisturize a leather jacket, first, make sure it's clean and dry. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner with a soft cloth, using circular motions. Focus on one section at a time, allowing the conditioner to penetrate the leather. Avoid over-applying to prevent greasiness. After fully covering the jacket, let it sit for about 30 minutes then buff it gently with another clean, dry cloth. This not only keeps the leather supple but also prevents cracking, ensuring your jacket remains in prime condition. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
