- Having your leather jacket cleaned will cost $50 to $80 if you take to a dry cleaner. That's that's just to clean it. Textile jackets are maybe half that price. You don't have to baby your motorcycle jackets. These aren't flimsy fashion jackets. They're made to take abuse.
That's a GREAT technique, I am going to try it. Now I have to go and buy a basketball hoop, but ut's worth it. Thanks
I tried in a fooball/soccer goal, and works even better.
I would suggest leather conditioner after you wash it. Massage into the leather, worked perfectly!
i was so worried to wash my leather jacket cuz it cost me too much. when i read your description i was blown away with the thought.. "LEATHER JACKET ARE MADE TO BE ABUSED"
that hits me. ill clean it tomorrow.
thanks my guy.. I ride a Yamaha Vstar 650. be safe riding!
Damn... THANK YOU man!! Can NOT believe the amount of misinformation out there. Ive had 10 different Dry Cleaning places tell me 10 different things. I knew in the back of my mind I could just wash all this shit in the tub like laundry. Cheers to that!!
I went through the same thing. Wah? How much to clean it?? Then I once got drenched in a sudden rainstorm. I hung it up to dry and it didn't fall apart. Ding (light bulb). Dunked it in a bucket the next day.

Yeah.. I live in a country that is raining almost every week.
And my leather jacket is just fine...
But I always had this fear of washing my leather jacket with water...
Thanks man for making sense and taking this fear away from me!!
Really great video!!!
All these years I've always been told that one can not wash your leather jacket in water. So grateful I stumbled across your video when searching for an easy and practical way to clean all those nasty odors and stains. Thanks a million!
Nice video, I also put a cap of fabric softener in with the water for leather jackets. They are more flexible when dry.
The only thing i would add is leather conditioner once dry as it will help it be more supple and help the leather to last longer (will be easier to wipe things off with a cloth for spot cleaning between washes too as well as help with water proofing depending on what product you use)
Thank you for the video, I assumed water was bad on leather jackets, and I wasn't trying to ruin my nice Icon Contra jacket trying to wash it myself. But you used water and a strong degreaser.
I sent this to my buddy. This is a GREAT video. Thank you for taking the time! Good lessons here. :O)
So I bought a Joe rocket ballistic textile jacket second hand and I noticed every time I take it off I have this white stuff all over my arms and on my shirt that I’m wearing
"will" take a day to dry"
You should know the power of Finnish Sauna! :D But thanks man, i bought a second hand two piece Alpine suit and needs a wash for sure! :D
Could you do one for leather motorcycle gloves?
Dude, your commentary on this cracks me up. Good video! Awesome to know!
I wear mine in the shower and get someone to scrub me.
What a cool little video! Jesus bless you man!
LIKE
Great video!!
Awesome idea, thanks!
Thanks!
Have you experience getting mold inside of the jacket?
I like your white leather jacket. May I ask what brand, what model is that?
Would be great if you could recommend a reliable seller. I would love to buy one (from oversea, Apr.2024).
Thank you for the video and everything.
It's a brand called Scorpion. None of the cycle shops around here seems to sell Scorpion anymore. It's held up surprisingly well, much better than my Dianese leather that was 3x the price.
Where can I find the leather jacket at looking maybe purchasing one
Great video! Direct to the point! Thanks for sharing.
Very good video thank you!
Great video
Why not use leather conditioner afterwards?
More work. I find it unnecessary. Plus, leather conditioner seems to attract dirt because it contains oil, usually neatsfoot oil. I don't know what a neat is, nor how they milk oil from its foot. Sounds suspicious.
What degreaser do you use? Could I use La’s totally awesome?
I don't even know what brand it is. The bucket sat in a corner of my shop for years. All I know is there's a large proportion of sodium hydroxide (aka Lye) because if I use too much, my skin peels. Zep industrial purple degreaser is the closest I can come in liquid form. It's really strong as well. Undiluted, it will burn your skin. You're probably better off using laundry detergent and if it's not strong enough, go with Zep industrial purple, heavily diluted.
What brand of cleaner you are using?
Hello. I recommend laundry detergent. If it's not as strong as you'd like, add more. As for the powder, I can't read the label on the bucket anymore. It's degreaser we used to mop the shop floors with. I know it's mostly Sodium Hydroxide (aka Lye). Zep Industrial Purple degreaser is the closest I can compare in liquid form. You have to dilute a lot. Full strength, it will burn your skin. Lye is what the mob used to dissolve dead bodies.
Do you wash boots and gloves the same way??
Gloves, yes. I haven't tried boots but I don't see why you can't. I was leather sneakers the same way and they do just as well.
@@redneckoriental Thanks. I did it and it looks brand new again lol
Do you have tips on how remove yellow stain on textile jackets, I can't use bleach on my dainese cause its mix colored same as yours....
I assume the stain is on the white fabric. I would dilute some bleach with water in a cup, maybe 1 part bleach, 40 parts water. Use a small paint brush and brush it onto the stain, avoiding the colored fabric. Let it sit 10 minutes. Now, rinse by filling another cup with just water. Wash the bleach off the paint brush. Use the paint brush to brush water onto the bleached area. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the rinse water from the fabric. It doesn't have to be a wet / dry vacuum since it's a small amount of water. I would rinse at least twice. If the stain is still there, repeat the bleaching again with a higher concentration, like 1 bleach to 20 water.
@@redneckoriental ok thanks i will give it a go and see what happens...
