Quick answer
Your Croc Leather Trench is made from genuine lambskin, so professional cleaning is the only safe method for deep stains. For everyday care, gently wipe with a damp cloth and store it on a padded hanger away from heat and sunlight.
Why genuine leather needs a different approach
Unlike faux leather, genuine lambskin is a natural material that can dry out, crack, or absorb stains if you use the wrong products. The Croc Leather Trench is 100% lambskin, so skip DIY cleaning hacks and stick to professional care. Water, soap, or household cleaners can strip the embossed croc pattern and ruin the finish.
Step-by-step care routine
- 1. Spot clean immediately: If you notice a small spot, gently dab it with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Do not rub—this can spread the stain or damage the leather grain. For anything beyond light dust, take the coat to a professional leather cleaner. Common mistake: Using soap or stain removers at home can cause permanent discoloration.
- 2. Condition sparingly: Genuine lambskin needs moisture to stay supple, but over-conditioning can clog the pores. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner once every 6–12 months, or only when the leather feels dry. Test on a hidden seam first. Checkpoint: If the leather feels stiff or looks dull, it's time to condition. If it still feels soft, skip it.
- 3. Store properly between wears: Hang your trench on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shoulders. Keep it in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight, radiators, or damp basements. Avoid plastic dry-cleaning bags, which trap moisture. Common mistake: Folding or hanging on thin wire hangers can create permanent creases in the leather.
- 4. Handle rain and wet weather: Lambskin is not waterproof. If your coat gets wet, blot excess moisture with a dry towel and let it air dry away from heat. Never use a hair dryer or radiator to speed up drying. Checkpoint: If the coat is soaked through, take it to a professional as soon as possible to prevent water damage.
- 5. Plan for professional cleaning annually: Even if the coat looks clean, have it professionally cleaned once a year to remove invisible dirt and oils. A specialist leather cleaner will know how to preserve the embossed croc pattern. Common mistake: Waiting until a stain is set makes it much harder—or impossible—to remove.
