Don't take a leather jacket to an ordinary dry cleaner. Water washing, industrial solvents and pressing heat leave leather dry, stiff, shrunken, with a peeling finish and lost color. Jackets must be cleaned with leather-specific methods.

The full answer
Dry cleaners handle fabric, not leather. Dry-cleaning solvents strip the natural oils and leave leather brittle; heat and pressing distort its shape; water stiffens and stains it. Many leather jackets are permanently ruined after a single trip to a regular cleaner. The right way: clean the surface with a leather-specific solution → condition → treat stains/mold separately → air dry naturally. The fabric lining inside can be gently cleaned on its own.

Why you must never use shoe polish on a leather jacket
Never put shoe polish on a jacket — polish (especially wax and pigmented) is made for thick, differently finished shoe leather. On a jacket it mats the surface, bleeds color, clogs the leather and wrecks the soft finish — and it's very hard to undo.
Storing a leather jacket over summer — no mould, no drying out?
Storing a jacket over summer: clean & condition first, hang on a wide-shouldered hanger (never a thin one), cover with a breathable cloth bag (no plastic), keep somewhere dry and shaded, with silica packs. Check every 1–2 months, and never fold it — folds crack.
