A handmade leather jacket is a long-term investment. In order to get the most out of your jacket, you need to take proper care of it – and that includes storing it properly when you're not wearing it.
Aero's high-quality leather jackets are extremely durable, and with a little bit of care, they'll last a lifetime. You don't have to worry too much about damaging your Aero jacket by storing it incorrectly, but there are a few key considerations that you should bear in mind.
