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.

The full answer
Common mistake: stuffing a leather jacket into a sealed plastic bag or folding it away in a humid closet — in a hot, humid summer it will mold and take on permanent creases. The right way:
- clean off sweat and dust, then apply a thin layer of conditioner so the leather doesn't dry out
- hang it on a wide hanger that supports the shoulders
- cover it with a fabric dust bag
- use a ventilated closet with silica gel desiccant, away from direct sunlight that fades color
- don't stack anything heavy on top. Take it out periodically to check on it and let it air.

Should you take a leather jacket to an ordinary dry cleaner?
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.
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.
