The trend-surpassing, timeless styling, sheepskin jacket isn\u2019t just a wardrobe staple, it\u2019s one of nature’s warmest insulators, making it both fashionable and functional. But, how can you keep yours in tip top condition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caring for a sheepskin jacket isn’t really as difficult as you may think \u2013 especially if you use our step-by-step guide. It will help a real sheepskin coat last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although a jacket\u2019s specific needs should be detailed by the manufacturer, there are some general care rules that can be held as sheepskin jacket best practices, which are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By following these rules carefully, you’re unlikely to run into many problems with your sheepskin jacket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t advise you get your sheepskin jacket wet, however if you find yourself in a situation where your coat has been exposed to the elements, shake it thoroughly and blot with a clean and dry towel. You should then hang your jacket at room temperature to dry further, but not near a source of direct heat as this could damage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a similar vein, rubbing a wet sheepskin in an attempt to dry it isn\u2019t advised as this can push the moisture further through the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once your jacket has completely dried, brush the nap of the suede with our purpose-built Magic Sponge<\/a><\/span>. The only exception to this would be if your jacket has a Nappa finish. If this is the case, once dry, gently rub with a soft, dry towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storing a sheepskin jacket is simple and there are only a few things you have to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you take great care with your sheepskin jacket, it\u2019s still likely to get a bit grubby from time to time. When gentle cleaning is necessary, use our exclusively developed Foaming Cleaner<\/a><\/span> \u2013 apply with a lint free cloth, using light, circular movements to clean the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your sheepskin jacket has developed more stubborn stains, consider taking it to a specialist leather and sheepskin dry cleaner. Choosing an expert in this area ensures they have the right knowledge and techniques to treat the problem, as traditional dry cleaning can strip essential oils from the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For advice on repairs, you can contact our friendly Customer Care team on 015394 39030 or email online@lakelandleather.co.uk.
