    Naked Leather - Handcrafted in the USA!

    Naked leather is a soft leather with no finishes added to give it that broken in feel. We find it best to not add any after sale products to your garment but if you feel it’s necessary we would only recommend Mink Oil. Mink Oil will help your garment’s leather keep its soft feel and also help the leather to retain moisture to keep it from feeling dry. However we do strongly discourage the application of Mink Oil because it could cause shading on your garment and since this is Naked Leather the natural oils should already keep your garment feeling soft and retain that moisture. It is our recommendation that any product applied to your leather garment is tested in a none visible part to see if there is any discoloration or shading of the leather before it is applied to the whole outside of the garment.

    Naked Leather - Handcrafted in the USA!

    This style leather has the same feel as the unfinished leather, but during the final tanning process it is finished in a way that gives it the classic look of a 1950’s motorcycle jacket. Over years of use, this will fade slightly to reveal the natural patina of the leather. Do not apply any oils or cleaners. This leather is perfect just the way it is. To remove dirt and road grime just use a damp cloth with warm water and no additives. Let air dry.
