leather conditioner on a coat?

[Darth_Emma]

I recently purchased a leather coat (I am told it's made of lamb leather). It is very very soft, smooth leather (not suede) and I want to take good care of it. I wondered if any of you have used Adam's leather cleaner on a good leather coat and how it worked out? Thanks!

I used Leather Conditioner on a pair of gloves. I think the results were great. The break-in time was dramatically decreased. I would assume your coat would benefit from an application. As always though... test on an inconspicuous spot first

I used the leather conditioner on a pair of leather Abercrombie sandals and they came out looking like brand new!

I have used it many times on my leather jacket.

 

It works wonderful!!

If it's leather it'll work.

 

As always though. Try it on an inconspicuous spot for color fastness, especially when using the cleaner.

Thanks, everyone. I'll give it a try. The coat is new, so I'll start by applying some conditioner on a hidden spot first.

Are you talking about the Camaro Jacket from Canada?

[Chris@Adams]

Good tip Terry!

Well, hey there, Dr Jkel. Yes, I am talking about my Camaro jacket from Canada.

Works on everything leather. I've used it on my coats and our leather furniture. Fantastic results. And my wife uses it on her leather purses.

Well, hey there, Dr Jkel. Yes, I am talking about my Camaro jacket from Canada.

 

 

Terri,

 

I have the same jacket, well mine may be just a wee bit bigger but I used the leather conditioner on it and I saw no ill effects of using it. I put it on very lightly since mine was new. Looks great.

 

A Camaro jacket with your VIN # on it is just too cool.

Here is the product description page:

It has a small brass plate inside that is custom engraved with the VIN of my car too.

[Kingsford]

Wow that guy looks like a T Double O L Tool.

 

I love the jacket though!

[Nordgrey]

Well there you go, the car AND the jacket, both made in Canada.

[Rich]

:thumbsup:I'll send that to my brother. He and his son both bought new Camaros. Pretty nice.

[Chris@Adams]

That is one cool coat!

[Darth_Emma]

You actually can't buy the coat directly if you live outside of Canada. Only GM dealers in Canada can buy them. I had the good fortune of getting it through a Camaro5 member who lives in Canada and he was able to get them for us through his dealer. They even went to the trouble of getting our VIN numbers engraved on a small plaque that is riveted inside the coat. I love it.

[Dr Jkel]

The only unfortunate thing about this jacket is it IS made in Canada, like our cars, but the jacket is way cool and like Terri said it does have a plate on the inside that is engraved with the VIN # of your car.

 

I was lucky enough to get a lithograph from the factory signed by some of the workers who built my car along with the documnetation of my build since I pre-ordered my car. This jacket is a nice touch.

I love the VIN number idea!

I've used leathermate on my Choko Camaro jacket and that has worked out pretty well.

 

 

I got it from Choko at the Camaro nationals for $330.

 

I showed the jacket to a retired professor here, and he had a friend in textiles he showed me what to look for in the quality, and he said it was worth the $430 retail price. For example there is leather bits on the inside of the jacket, on the tips of the sleaves, and even leather that holds the button above the vinplate.

 

I love the jacket as much as the camaro.
