Can you wear leather in the rain?

Genuine leather is one of the most durable and versatile clothing materials of all, and among them there are several leather jacket models that are suitable for every season. But what about rainy days? Can you wear a leather jacket, leather gloves or even the real leather handbag in the rain without ruining them? The short answer is yes, but you must take extra good care of the leather to avoid water damage.

What rain can do to a genuine leather product

When the weather gets uncomfortably nippy, you'll appreciate your leather jacket and cozy lined leather gloves. But no matter where you live, at some point in the year it will rain. Can the rain then ruin my leather jacket, leather bag, or whatever I wear made of real leather? And what can everyone do to protect their leather clothing from water damage?

Only minor contact with moisture should not cause any major problems. However, if leather is exposed to a lot of moisture over a long period of time, it can become damaged. The moisture settles into the pores where it can contribute to the formation of mold and mildew - and when this happens, it's hard to fix.

How avoid to ruin the leather clothes

1. Proper care with lotion

If you take proper care of your Misuri leather product, you can wear it in the rain without worrying about it being a total loss.

One of the easiest ways to protect the, for example, three-quarter length leather coat Melissa, from water damage is to apply a waterproof leather lotion to its surface. There are various types of leather lotions on the market, but Misuri will certainly help directly with advice and care in Piazza della Croce in Florence.

Once the lotion is applied to the leather surface, it forms a protective barrier between the leather fabric and the outside elements, thus protecting the leather from water damage. Afterwards, you can go carefree with the natural brown Lea Bag.

2. Always dry leather goods properly

Rain ruins leather if you don't dry it properly. In addition to using a leather lotion, you should get into the habit of drying your leather garments immediately after they have been exposed to rain. The longer the leather remains saturated with moisture, the greater the risk that it will be damaged.

If you wear the leather jacket Vega bomber style made of soft lambskin in the rain, wipe it dry with a clean cloth when you return home or at your destination and let it air dry at room temperature. This way you protect your leather from moisture damage.

3. Waxing leather goods

To avoid ruining the leather, you should wax it. When the surface of the leather is clean, apply a small amount of wax to a clean cloth and work it carefully into the soft lambskin surface of, for example, the Tall Trifold Wallet for Men. You can repeat this step a few times until you are satisfied with the result.

After applying the wax, you should let the leather dry naturally, including the Classic Leather Belt made of Italian lambskin. However, you should avoid exposing any leather product to a direct heat source, as excessive heat can cause cracking and ruin the leather. Once completely dry, take another clean cloth and buff off the wax. By the way, you should absolutely avoid wearing suede in the rain, as it will definitely ruin the leather, which Misuri then does not guarantee. The dark brown Carlotta is such a jacket, very light and perforated suede in Chanel style, unfortunately unsuitable in the rain.

When we can wear leather clothes without ruining them?

The bottom line is: yes, you can wear a genuine leather goods product in all seasons and weather, as long as you take proper care of it. The rule is: dry it properly, use lotion, and wax it so the rain doesn't ruin the leather. After all, leather goods were originally made to withstand all weather conditions and protect the wearer in harsh environments. Misuri is happy to advise you, also throught the online collection.
