Latest News for Jonval Leathers & Furs

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re like most people, finding the perfect gift for your dad can feel difficult. Dads have a way of buying themselves the things they need, but how often does your dad buy something he wants? Probably not as often as he should. Give your dad a gift to remember this season: a beautiful leather jacket. Here’s why a leather jacket is a great gift for one of the most important men in your life.

It’s a Timeless Piece of Outerwear
Clothing trends can change by the season. This makes it hard to pick something that your dad will get enjoyment out of for more than just a few months. Luckily, leather jackets are timeless. No matter what style or color you choose, the jacket will be relevant and look great regardless of what the rest of the clothing industry is coming up with. 

Leather Is Comfortable All Year
The last thing you want to do is get your dad a gift that he can’t use immediately. And though Denver can be warm in the summer, leather jackets are versatile enough to let him wear it with pride and comfort immediately after you gift it to him. The material is naturally breathable making it ideal for those warm summer nights. But it’s warm enough to help him stay toasty during the cooler months and can easily accommodate additional layers underneath on those cold winter days.

Your Dad Will Enjoy It for Years to Come
Leather is one of the most durable materials on the market. It doesn’t tear easily, looks great even when it gets scuffed, and ages like a fine wine. That means your dad will be able to enjoy his new leather jacket for years if not decades. And since it’s timeless, he won’t have to worry about it looking dated or old even 15 years down the line.

Leather Is Easy to Maintain
Some clothing items are incredibly difficult to maintain and even a slight deviation in routine maintenance can leave the item looking worn and damaged. Leather, on the other hand, has pretty minimal maintenance requirements. As long as you store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight, moisturize it as needed, and let a professional clean any buildup and grime that collects every few years, you’ll be in good shape. That ease of maintenance means your dad will be more likely to wear the jacket rather than leaving it hanging in the closet. 

It’s a Gift as Unique as He Is
Every dad is unique and when you buy a leather jacket, you’ll be choosing a gift that’s as unique as he is. Every piece of leather has a different look and texture that can’t be mimicked or duplicated in nature. This can make him feel special and lets you show him how much you value the unique individual that he is.

Leather jackets are meant to be worn. And since they’re breathable, beautiful, and timeless, you’ll want to wear yours every day. While this is fine when the weather is nice and breezy, what happens if you’re worried about rain? Conventional wisdom states that wearing leather in the rain isn’t a good idea. Here’s what you need to know about wearing leather jackets in the rain and what you should do if you find yourself caught in a storm.

Light Rain Is Fine
Light rainstorms and showers will get your leather jacket wet, but if they’re light, it’s unlikely that your jacket will become saturated. This is good news. A small amount of water isn’t going to hurt your jacket. But if you get caught in a torrential downpour or you’re out in the rain for hours and get soaked, the moisture could damage the leather. Remember, when leather gets wet, it can stretch. And when it stretches, it can change the way your jacket fits. Worse, the water can lead to stains and discoloration that can be difficult if not impossible to remove. 

If you think you’re going to be out in the rain for an extended time, consider packing an umbrella or a rain jacket to put over your leather jacket. But if you’re caught in a surprise drizzle, don’t panic.

Make Sure to Dry It Properly
If you do get your jacket wet, make sure to dry it properly. Hang it in a well-ventilated room out of direct sunlight. If you need to speed the drying process, consider pointing a fan at your jacket to further circulate the air. Make sure your jacket is completely dry before you wear it again to reduce the risk of stretching the material. 

Condition the Leather Well
It’s a good idea to keep your leather well conditioned at all times, but especially after a rainstorm. Doing so can keep the leather in better shape and reduce the risk of stretching and staining in the future. Many of these conditioners have beeswax in them which can increase the water resistance of your leather for several weeks or months, depending on how you wear it. 

Get It Professionally Cleaned as Needed
If you notice staining and discoloration on your jacket, whether it’s the result of being caught in the rain or not, the best thing you can do is get it cleaned by a professional. They’ll be better able to reduce the signs of water spots and discoloration after getting caught in the rain. Keep in mind that severe water staining may not be removed completely, even with the help of an expert. That’s why it’s best to only wear your jacket in light rainstorms or drizzles. 

Give Your Jacket the TLC It Deserves
Your leather jacket is designed to be worn. And that means it may get wet occasionally. Don’t let fear of water spots keep you from enjoying your jacket year-round. If you’re worried about the condition of your jacket or you’re looking for someone to clean and repair your jacket after getting caught in a storm, let Jonval Leathers and Furs help.

Leather jackets are once again becoming incredibly popular statement pieces. This is good news if you’re looking for one to add to your wardrobe. But it also means there’s an increase in low-quality jackets on the market. Sure, those low-quality jackets may come at a cheaper price, but when it comes to leather clothing and outerwear, you get what you pay for. Here’s why you should skip those cheap leather jackets you see in most department stores and invest in a high-quality leather jacket from Jonval.

They’re Not Always Leather
Just because a jacket looks like it’s made from leather doesn’t mean it actually is. And many cheaper jackets use materials like pleather or vegan leather to keep the price down. These materials can look nice for a while, but they’ll often break down or stain with regular wear. At best, you’ll be able to wear it for a few seasons before it starts to show its age.

When you invest in a high-quality leather jacket from Jonval, you’ll know that you’re getting real leather that’s designed and treated to withstand the test of time. Rather than having to buy a new jacket in a year, you’ll have a piece you can wear for decades as long as you take care of it.

Cheap Jackets Often Mean Low Quality
As we said earlier, you really do get what you pay for when it comes to leather jackets. Cheap jackets sold in department stores are often made of low-quality materials and feature stitching that won’t stand up to regular wear. That means you’ll have to replace it sooner than you might like.

With a high-quality jacket from Jonval, you’ll know that your jacket will last for years. And if anything happens to your jacket, you won’t have to throw it away. Our team can handle the necessary repairs so you can add it back into your outerwear rotation without worry.

They Won’t Age Well
High-quality leather jackets have a tendency to look even better the older they get. The leather breaks in, shows more character in its color and texture, and simply fits your body more nicely. Cheap jackets, on the other hand, tend to age in a way that makes them look dated at best and worn out at worst. 

At Jonval, we pride ourselves on creating leatherwear that you can use dependably for decades. While it may cost more upfront, you ‘ll likely end up saving money since you won’t have to replace your jacket every few years. And if you change sizes, you may be able to alter your jacket so you can continue wearing it for years to come.

Higher Quality Jackets Are a Better Fit
If you’re looking to make a statement with your outerwear, few things will help you stand out like a high-quality leather jacket. At Jonval, we create timeless looks that you can enjoy wearing every day. And if you have a jacket that you already love but aren’t comfortable wearing anymore, our team can inspect it and repair any damage so you can start wearing ita gain with confidence.

Leather jackets have been a wardrobe staple for countless people, and for good reason: these jackets are cool, showcase your individual style, and give you a chance to stand out from the crowd. But for most people, leather jackets are more of a day-off type of outerwear. At Jonval Leather and Furs, we believe that leather jackets can work in just about any professional setting. Here are a few reasons to consider wearing your jacket to work, not just on your next night out. 

They’re Timeless
Leather jackets are timeless meaning their style and lines can work with current trends, even if you bought the jacket decades ago. That means you’ll get years of use out of your jacket. When you rely on standard suit jackets and other types of outerwear, you can expect them to look dated the following year. To keep up with your coworkers, you may be tempted to replace your wardrobe—and that could end up costing you hundreds of dollars if you’re not careful. 

They Can Be Casual
Leather jackets can dress up an outfit, making them ideal for more formal work environments. But they can also work in more casual settings. It all depends on what you wear with them. Paired with a nice Oxford or button-down, your leather jacket will likely work at your desk and in the boardroom. But paired with a t-shirt and jeans, your leather jacket will show others that you’re trendy, willing to have fun, and capable of letting loose every once in a while.

They’re More Comfortable Than Other Options
Polyester is the standard when it comes to affordable business attire. And when it’s well-made, it looks nice enough to fit in most professional settings. But that doesn’t mean it’s comfortable. The fabric is often restrictive and may not breathe enough to help you regulate your own body temperature throughout the day. Leather jackets, on the other hand, stretch slightly when you move, making them easier to wear regardless of the tasks you’re performing. And since leather is naturally breathable, you’re less likely to overheat when the office’s air conditioner breaks…again.

They Go With Anything
When we say that leather jackets can go with anything, we mean it. There’s no limit to the versatility of this wardrobe staple. Wear it with a nice pair of slacks or a trendy dress to the office and blend in with your peers. Dress it down with your favorite t-shirt, ratty jeans, and a pair of Converse and you’ll look as hip as you feel.

Already Have a Leather Jacket?
If you already have a leather jacket but aren’t wearing it to work, consider doing so. You’ll create a timeless look that works with just about any outfit and accessories you can pair with it. Even better, you’ll look like the true (and cool) professional that you are. 

But if your leather jacket looks a bit worse for wear, don’t stress. The leather cleaning and repair team at Jonval Leather and Furs is here to help. Contact us to learn more about our repair services and see how we can help you enjoy your leather jacket for years to come.
 

Buying a leather jacket is a great way to spruce up your wardrobe before fall comes around. And while you can easily pick up a high-quality jacket in person at your trusted leather goods store, many people end up purchasing their jackets online, sight unseen. Buying any type of clothing online can be risky since you never know exactly what you’re getting, but because purchasing products online is so convenient, you may still be considering your options. Before you order a jacket online, familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of buying leather sight unseen.

The Pros of Purchasing Your Leather Jacket Online
Buying clothing and leather goods online is incredibly convenient. It lets you make a purchase without having to leave your home. But that’s not the only benefit you’ll experience. Here are some of the top advantages of buying leather jackets online:

It’s easier to compare prices: When you shop online, you can check prices at dozens of stores just by performing a quick search. This makes it easier to choose a jacket that fits your budget and may even help you save money in the long run.
Most eCommerce stores offer free returns: If your leather jacket doesn’t fit or doesn’t meet your needs, you should be able to return it to the vendor easily. Keep in mind that return policies can vary from store to store. Be sure to review each store’s policy before placing an order.
You’ll have access to a wider selection: When you order online, you can view jackets at dozens if not hundreds of stores all from the comfort of your couch. This means you’ll have access to a wider selection of jackets than you’d find locally or in person.

Buying a jacket online can be a great choice if you’re comfortable with purchasing a jacket before trying it on.

The Cons of Buying a New Jacket Online
Though there are many benefits to buying jackets online, there are also a few downsides you’ll want to know about. Here are some of the most common cons of buying leather jackets online:

• You can’t be sure of the quality: Many vendors advertise high-quality full-grain leather jackets when they’re actually selling bonded leather or pleather jackets. Why? To convince more people to order from them. When you’re buying online, you won’t know what you’re actually purchasing until it gets to your home.
• The fit may not be perfect: When you buy online, you can’t try things on before purchasing them. This makes it hard to tell if your jacket will fit the way you want it to. 
• Returns can be tough: If you decide to return your jacket, you may need to physically take the package to your store’s chosen shipping partner. Worse, you may not receive an exchange or a refund until your package reaches its destination.
