ÉLANE Duster Coat

Your ÉLANE jacket is crafted from premium natural leather and built to last a lifetime—with care. To preserve its softness, structure, and signature finish, follow these detailed care guidelines: Daily Wear & Handling Avoid Overloading Pockets: Leather can stretch and warp under excess weight. Rotate Usage: Give your jacket occasional rest days to allow the leather to breathe and retain its shape. Mind Friction Zones: Be aware of backpack straps, belt buckles, or rough surfaces that can rub and wear the leather. Cleaning Routine Dust-Off: Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth after use. Spot Cleaning: Use a slightly damp cloth for minor spots. Do not rub aggressively. Avoid soaps, alcohol, or household cleaners. Stains or Spills: Blot (do not wipe) immediately with a clean cloth. For oil-based stains, sprinkle with cornstarch and let sit overnight before gently brushing off. Water & Weather Light Rain? No Panic. Pat dry with a soft towel. Lay flat in a well-ventilated area to air dry naturally—away from heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Avoid Heavy Rain & Snow: While some ÉLANE pieces have light resistance, leather is a natural material and not waterproof. For added protection, consider a professional-grade leather spray (always test on a hidden area first). Storage Hang It Right: Use a wide-shouldered, padded or velvet hanger to maintain shape. Avoid wire hangers. Dust Bag Provided: Store your jacket in the original breathable ÉLANE dust bag. Avoid plastic covers, which trap moisture. Air It Out: Every few weeks, let your jacket breathe in open air (not direct sunlight) for a couple of hours. Conditioning Every 6–12 Months: Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to keep the hide supple and prevent dryness. Always spot test first and apply sparingly with a soft cloth. Matte Finishes: Avoid gloss-enhancing polishes—your jacket is designed for a refined, natural look.
