Mine is starting to build up some grim and the underarms aren't smelling too good LOL. How did you guys clean it? I have a Alpinestars leather jacket and it said no washing with water, no iron, no bleach, and no dry washing. So I took it to a local cleaner and they wanted 45 bucks to clean it. But if I could save 45 bucks, then I would definately like that.

Sorry, buddy. If you have the cash to buy the leathers, you need to spend the cash to clean the leathers.

wash the outside like your skin. very mild soap and a washcloth. be gentle. i've read some good tutorials on leather cleaning...i think one is on this site...ill look for it.

I think he's asking about both the inside and the outside... The outside is relatively straightforward, but the inside might be more difficult and would probably require professional care.

Yes, but have you not been wearing your jacket into the shower with you?

Best way and the cheapest. Saddle soap, let it dry and place it in a box with Arm and Hammer Baking Soda (just an open box of it, don't pour the Baking Soda into the box) and place your jacket in it. Close up the box and let it sit in there for about 2-3 days. It'll take all the stink out.

Same with your lid. Mild soap and water, dry it off, and place the lid in a box with an open box of Baking Soda. It'll kill the smell.

nice....

but actually it dries out your leather. I use the Dainese leather cleaner and moisturizer. But then again, my jacket costs 1000$ CDN. On my alpinestars suit I use anything I can find and some water. The leather is dry as hell though. I recommend moisturizing your leather if you love it.
