How to Care for Leather?
購買的皮衣如何正確保養?
首先我會建議認真穿著、使用
優秀的好皮衣並不需要多餘的顧慮
它,就如同RAW Denim堅韌、耐得住數十年甚至百年考驗
需要時間去培養它,會變成獨一無二的寶貝
即便時代過去了,也能傳承至下一代
優秀的皮革擁有著柔軟、舒適性,能穿著一整天不感到疲倦
多穿它! 就是對衣服最好的保養!

如果選擇的是牛皮,基本上不太需要注意什麼
成年牛的皮革是非常堅固、扎實,這是上萬年自然進化過程
即便是如今現代科技的環境
也能經常出現於各種極限速度賽事的車手防護服裝當中
例如 MotoGP™、WSBK、甚至世界最危險的Isle of Man TT..等
但如果是「胎牛皮、小牛皮」則會需要注意一些尖銳物等等
它的柔軟度會更好、韌性也是,但同時相比成牛皮革較為脆弱
最需要注意的是「羊皮」
因為它是常見的皮革中最柔軟、脆弱的,所以更需要注意、穿著
但也因為超好的舒適、防風保暖
所以經常出現在現代奢華時裝當中
即使穿著一整天下來也絕不疲倦
皮衣保存上如果能放置在一定乾燥(除濕機)、通風室內環境是最好的
另外上油滋潤能使皮革加速馴化(Break in)
其上油的方式原理是補充缺失的水分、油脂
使皮革組織軟化,當然如果說常常穿著也能達到
建議一年保養一次即可
保養開始前可以先讓皮衣曬個太陽讓毛孔打開(20分鐘)
再來直接用手沾抹油脂類皮革保養品
觸摸感受皮革上有薄薄一層少量即可
約等上半天的時間,使毛孔徹底吸收完畢
再使用乾淨的乾布擦拭乾淨表層多餘油脂完成。

How should I care for my leather jacket?
First and foremost, I recommend careful wear and use.
Excellent leather clothing requires no extra care.
Like raw denim, it's tough and can withstand the test of decades or even centuries.
It takes time to cultivate it, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Even after generations, it can be passed down to the next generation.
Excellent leather is soft and comfortable, allowing you to wear it all day without feeling tired.
Wear it more! It's the best way to care for your clothing!

If you choose cowhide, there's basically nothing to worry about.
The leather of adult cows is incredibly strong and durable, a product of tens of thousands of years of natural evolution.
Even in today's modern world, it's often found in protective clothing for riders in
various extreme speed races, such as MotoGP™, WSBK,
and even the world's most dangerous Isle of Man TT...etc.
However, if it's fetal cowhide or calfskin, you need to be careful with sharp objects.
It's softer and more resilient, but also more fragile.
Sheepskin is the most important leather to be careful with.
Because it's the softest and most fragile of the common leathers, it requires more care when wearing it.
But because it's incredibly comfortable, windproof, and warm,
it's often found in modern luxury fashion.
Even after a full day of wear, you won't feel tired.
Leather garments are best stored in a relatively dry (dehumidifier) and well-ventilated indoor environment.
Additionally, applying oil to moisturize the leather can accelerate its break-in process.
Oil application works by replenishing lost moisture and oils, softening the leather tissue. Frequent wear can also achieve this effect.
We recommend a yearly maintenance regimen.
Before maintenance, expose the leather garment to the sun for 20 minutes to open the pores.
Then, apply an oil-based leather care product directly with your hands.
Touch the leather and feel for a thin layer.
Wait about half a day for the product to be absorbed thoroughly into the pores.
Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off any excess oil from the surface.
