Care & Maintenance
Leather Care: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Use leather conditioner monthly to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
Patch Preservation: Handle embroidered patches with care. Avoid aggressive scrubbing over patched areas.
Storage: Hang on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry space. The wide-waisted construction means it should be stored flat or on a wide-shoulder hanger to maintain shape.
Color Note
Deep black with subtle sheen. Due to screen resolution, brightness, and contrast variations, actual colors may differ slightly from product images. The gothic aesthetic thrives in shadow, and this vest embodies that principle perfectly.
