I have 2 leather jackets which I love but have been stained. One’s a white Versace, the other burnt orange Gucci.

Has anyone had success in getting leather professionally cleaned?

I have cleaned black leather myself using saddlesoap and then conditioning and other products but I wouldnt risk that method on your colours.

Johnsons have a special leather cleaning facility but watch their Ts and Cs, if they screw up then their liability is limited to a very modest amount. I had a Boss suit which had all the buttons ruined, they just crumbled away, they offered £10 as compensation, their maximum.

Have you tried looking at companies that to Motorbike jackets as they are usually pretty good (cant remember the one I last used - sorry)

Watching. I've got some motorbike pants that could do with a freshen (no they don't smell there!) It's about flies etc from wind blast.

Just go for a fast ride in the pouring rain! My leathers get washed every so often by just this method, though thinking about it they do look pretty rough!

A white leather Versace jacket is likely to require a very different method to leather motorcycling trousers.


I presume the OP's items are also vintage so they might need pretty delicate handling.

I’d like to see them too. And I’ll be honest, it’s probably to mock.

When I was younger I used to wear a bright red Yoki Yammamoto red suit. I had a bob and was alot slimmer.

However now all you can imagine is me looking like Dumb and Dumber movie characters laugh

Just intrigued really, as I've seen black and brown mainly but don't think I've ever seen anyone rocking white or burnt orange before so trying to get a picture in my head.

There are some specialist websites for that kind of thing.

I have to second that request for photos.

I’m intrigued as to what sort of person wears white Versace leather and to where.

Large visible brand logos?

Given this is Pistonheads it’s got to be one of these surely!

Versace did a white leather biker jacket, Gucci also made a dark orange biker jacket.

I cannot imagine that they would look right on a Triton at the Ace but I wouldn't mock whatever people want to spend their money on, personal choice and I guess a genuine question from the OP

Not actual photos but not unlike these.

If they are lightweight leather best bet is a tooth brush and saddle soap.
Try it on a hidden bit first.

If it's heavyweight leather you can attack with a bit more vigour.

Specialist cleaners are few and far between these days so if you value them I'd be reluctant to outsource.
