I have tried the dry cleaning specialists more than once and they never get the jacket close to being clean. They can't even get the elbows clean. $50 for nothing!

I got this jacket from my dad as a gift, and after a while, by accident I got some pen marks on the jacket and something dirty around the end of the hand part of the jacket. What should I do?

My swede jacket had scotch tape on it. Once it was removed the mark of the tape remained. The jacket is new and does not need cleaning at this point. What would you suggest doing so as to remove these marks? Thank you.

I would take my leathers or suede to a reputed dry cleaner and let them deal with it. It's not cheap but if you keep your garment in good condition, you can get away with dry cleaning it once every two years. Do not smoke in your leather/suede coats. Smoke damage is one of the hardest things to remove. Don't wear it to the bar if you can help it. Do not use stain treatment, water, soap or Febreeze on your leathers. It could possibly stain or ruin the fabric. It could also make the dye run or change the color of the spot you used it on. Keep your jacket in a closet, preferrably in a zipped-up garment bag that will keep off dust, hair, children (ha ha), light and moisture. This will help keep your garment preserved during the months you don't wear it. Hope these tips help you out.
