Preserving Your Legacy: Professional Letterman Jacket Care

A Varsity jacket is more than a piece of clothing; it’s a timeline of your achievements. Because these jackets combine heavy wool with genuine leather sleeves, they are one of the most difficult items to clean correctly.

Most local dry cleaners are afraid of Varsity jackets because the dyes from the leather sleeves can easily "bleed" into the white or light-colored wool body. At LeatherCareUSA, we utilize a specialized Dual-Phase Cleaning Process that isolates the leather and wool, ensuring a deep clean without any color migration.

Why a "Specialist" is Required

Varsity jackets face three main challenges that standard cleaning can't handle:

• The Dye Migration Risk: High-contrast jackets (like black leather sleeves on a white wool body) require chemical stabilizers to prevent the leather dye from ruining the wool.
• The Chenille Patches: The "letters" and patches are delicate. High heat or harsh chemicals can cause the embroidery to shrivel or lose its "pop."
• Moth Protection: Because the body is high-quality wool, it is a target for moths. Our process includes a natural repellent treatment to protect your jacket in storage.
