Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I choose the right size? A: Leather jackets should fit snugly but comfortably over your choice of layering. We highly recommend checking our official Size Chart before purchasing to ensure an accurate fit around your chest and shoulders.
Q: Is shipping really free? A: Yes! We offer worldwide free shipping and hassle-free returns on all orders to ensure you get the perfect jacket risk-free.
Q: How should I care for my black leather jacket? A: Avoid exposing your jacket to heavy rain. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat. We recommend using a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep the leather hydrated and prevent cracking.
Q: What is the difference between lambskin and goatskin? A: Lambskin is softer, lighter, and feels more luxurious out of the box, making it excellent for casual fashion. Goatskin is slightly tougher, more water-resistant, and features a unique textured grain that handles wear and tear exceptionally well.
