Synthetic leather outer layers require specific care routines to prevent premature surface creasing or cracking. Because materials like the vegan leather on the Come As You Are Leather Bomber Jacket lack natural porous fibers, they should never be soaked, dry-cleaned with harsh solvents, or tossed into a tumble dryer.

For spot cleaning, wipe the surface using a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with cool water and a drop of gentle soap. Wipe away residue immediately with a dry cloth. Never apply direct heat like hairdryers or radiators to speed up drying, as synthetic coatings can warp or stiffen.

When storing jackets during warmer off-season months, avoid wire hangers that distort padded or structured shoulders. Hang your jacket on a wide wooden or molded plastic coat hanger inside a cool, dry closet. Ensure adequate spacing between garments so synthetic surfaces do not stick together or press deep indentations into the synthetic grain.
