I have a new leather jacket. It is either lamb or goatskin nappa. Label just says "leather."
This discussion thread on weathering a leather jacket here http://www.therpf.com/f24/how-weathe...jacket-122526/ features some posts by users who put their jackets through a wash cycle! One user states that his jacket shrunk about a half size. I assume that means that if it was a large, after washing it was between a medium and large in size.
If that's true, that would be perfect because my jacket is a little large.
So what might happen if I ran it through a delicate cycle? Cold or hot? What bad may happen other than shrinking? Or what might happen if I just give it a dunking in water and hang it up to dry?
Any information about leather care is appreciated.
