Outdoor Leather Jackets

When you want a jacket with the timelessness of leather and the character of quality craftsmanship, you want one of Buffalo Jackson’s outdoor leather jackets. Like the Theodore Leather Field Jacket, crafted of soft lambskin leather that feels like a worn-in favorite on day one. With its slim fit, high-neck collar, four front pockets and antique brass button snaps, it has the classic field jacket look while promising to keep you as warm as the rough riders of old.

Or consider the Driggs Leather Jacket: a combination of the iconic denim jacket structure with the rugged class of a fine brown leather jacket. While we love the heritage of denim jackets as work apparel for the likes of cowboys, miners, and railroad workers, we had to make it our own -- and that means, make it leather. The Driggs is crafted with full grain goat leather, antique brass buttons, and pocket & seam details to match those classic denim jackets. This outdoor leather jacket will easily become your year-round go-to.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR OUTDOOR LEATHER JACKET

Proper leather care is key to preserving and extending the life of your jacket. We’ve curated answers to your questions about how to care for wet or stained leather, and you can shop our leather care products for a premium cleaner and conditioner that are easy to use. Below are 5 basic steps to cleaning your leather jacket:

*Always spot-check each step before proceeding with the full jacket!

• Lightly dust. Gently wipe away any dust or oil buildup using a soft cloth in a light circular motion.
• Prepare cleaning solution. *If your jacket isn't excessively dirty, skip to step 4.Mix two teaspoons of mild liquid detergent with warm water to create a gentle cleaning solution that can be used on your leather jacket without causing abrasions or other damage.
• Gently clean.  Soak a soft sponge or cloth in your mild soap solution until it is saturated, then wring it out so it’s damp, but not soaking wet. The key to this cleaning approach is to use as little moisture as possible.  Lightly blot the leather to avoid leaving watermarks, and remember to feather your blots. Do not rub or scrub!
• Wipe down.  Remove soap residue by wiping down with a clean cloth saturated with a small amount of clean water. (Remember to use the smallest amount of moisture needed.) Then, pat the leather with a soft, dry towel, and hang the jacket somewhere cool until it is completely dry. Do not use direct heat (like a hair dryer or direct sunlight) to try to speed up the drying time.
• Remember the inside!  The soap solution used for cleaning the outside of your leather jacket can also be used to clean the inside. Remember that cleaning the inside of your jacket is as important as preserving the outside; sweat on the interior of the jacket can eventually break down the lining and compromise the leather.  To clean the inside, turn the jacket inside-out, and use a soft sponge or cloth and the same mild soap solution. Pay close attention to the cuffs, collar, and underarms, and then hang the jacket to dry in a cool, dry area. (Do not use direct heat.)
