Latest News for Jonval Leathers & Furs

You’ve made the investment in a beautiful Denver leather jacket, but now what? You might be wondering how to wear and style your leather jacket, which can be a common question and dilemma to have. But there is no need to worry, we are here to help style and wear your Denver leather jacket - you’ll be looking great for the remainder of this summer and into fall!

Make a statement
Use bright colored jewelry, accessories, and chunky accents to help make a leather jacket pop - particularly if you have a neutral colored jacket. Statement pieces are not only great for making the leather jacket pop, but they can help dress your leather jacket up for a night out. 

Uniform color
Have a black leather jacket? But don’t want to incorporate any bold pieces? You can make a statement by pairing your black leather jacket with black jeans, a black tank, and black accessories. Sometimes a unified color look is just what you need to rock your leather jacket.

Layering
Are you looking for a night out on the town? Sometimes the leather jacket can make the perfect layering accessory for a floral dress, cocktail dress, or even a chunky sweater. The great thing about using a leather jacket as a layering piece is that you don’t have to wear it the entire night. You can use the leather jacket as more of a jacket to wear if you get cold, and to change up your look throughout the night as you go from place to place.

Add some personality
Your neutral jacket, or colored jacket, can always benefit from an extra dose of personality. A neutral leather jacket looks great with a neutral or bold scarf and this simple upgrade can add a boost of style to your wardrobe. Colored leather jackets in general don’t need much of personality, it tends to do fine just as it is! However, when pairing your colored leather jacket with your wardrobe, make sure it doesn't get lost in other statement pieces that you are attempting to incorporate.

Purchasing a genuine Denver leather jacket can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be and it’s worth the investment. While genuine leather does cost more, it lasts longer and has several additional benefits that make it worth the purchase. Here is why you should purchase a genuine leather jacket:

The Material
Genuine leather has a great, natural smell. Not only will your senses feel awaken by a genuine leather jacket, but it will be softer than a synthetic leather. Over time, synthetic leather will deteriorate and begin to wear out, while real leather gets softer with age. 

Versatility
Not only can a leather jacket pretty much go with anything, you can also pick a variety of colors that will complete your full-wardrobe. But that’s not all. Did you know that leather jackets come in a variety of different styles? Styles include racer jackets, double rider jackets, bomber jackets, and flight jackets just to name a few. Each jacket has a unique cut and fit - but also has a number of accents depending on what look you are going for. From casual to edgy, and even dressy, a leather jacket truly gives you a number of versatility options that can’t be beat.

Durability
The older a leather jacket gets, and the more you wear it, the softer the leather material gets. But this doesn’t mean you sacrifice durability. Leather jackets are hardy - not only can they withstand all temperatures but they can withstand most weather conditions in general. With the proper care, your leather jacket will be keeping you warm and adding style to your wardrobe for decades to come. 

Care
Leather jackets are rather easy to care for if you abide by a few basic rules. The first thing you need to do is seal the leather jacket with a protectant and remember - more water is NOT a good thing. When you get something on your leather jacket always wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth and don’t add more water if the stain/abnormality won’t come off. Be sure to invest in a quality leather conditioner as well, and keep your leather jacket well-moisturized. If there are stains you can’t remove, or questions you might have about your leather jacket, bring it in to see us. We are here to help. When it comes to storage, make sure you store your leather jacket on a sturdy hanger (to help maintain shape), and in a well-ventilated closet. Storing your leather jacket in any damp areas will only cause damage to your leather jacket longterm.

Everyone loves a great fur coat! We can promise that while it might seem intimidating, a fur coat is not something that has to be difficult to take care of. We have compiled some of our best tips for everyday care of your Denver fur coat, and we’ve also compiled some of our most important cleaning tips that will help you take care of your fur coat for years to come. Afterall, it is an investment.

Everyday Tips
Hang your coat on a padded hanger, in a closet with plenty of space and room
Avoid hanging your coat in any type of bag - especially a plastic bag
Avoid using a shoulder bag, or other type of restricting bag that can damage the fur when it wears together
Don’t use any perfumes or hair spray on your coat - it can damage the fur

Cleaning Tips
If your jacket has been affected by rain or snow, shake out the precipitation and let the jacket hang in a well-ventilated room. It’s important that the jacket has the opportunity to dry-out naturally...do not use any heat on the jacket!
Always seek the help of a professional fur cleaner immediately if the jacket becomes drenched in water or another liquid. This type of damage can permanently ruin the jacket - seek help!
Get your fur coat cleaned once a year with the help of a professional fur coat cleaner.

Professional Cleaner
We’ve already discussed the importance of getting your leather jacket cleaned professionally at least once a year. But what does this look like? 
All coats will be carefully inspected prior to cleaning for rips or tears
There are a few different fur coat cleaning options at the professionals, but typically environmentally-safe methods will be used to clean the coat
Large rollers might also be used to help “electrify” the coat, or get the hairs to seperate 

Another important thing to note is that if plan on putting your coat away for a few months, you should remove it from the hanger and store it in a clean, dry area preferably in your home. Fur coats can’t handle any heat, making the perfect temperature for storage around 45 degrees with no more than 50 percent humidity. Ideally, a fur storage vault is perfect for storing your fur investment, but that isn’t always the most cost effective way to store your fur coat. Avoid storing your fur coat in a closet, instead we recommend placing it in a chest or drawer - but be sure to check it often for any mothballs.

Leather jackets are a classic style staple in closets around the world. With each jacket having its own character, flaire, and comfortability, it’s no wonder we never get sick of seeing leather jackets on the streets. Leather jackets come in many sizes, shapes, colors, cuts, and styles. A leather jacket is truly the perfect accessory for anyone. Here are our four reasons why Denver leather jackets never go out of style!

Classic
As already mentioned, leather jackets have a classic style to them. Created in the early 1900s the leather jacket has many styles and variations that can quite literally be worn in any situation or any occasion. Leather jackets, traditionally, have a neutral color and very little “bells and whistles” on the exterior, making them the perfect fixture if you are looking for something more clean cut.

Fashion
Leather jackets, are classic as we mentioned, but they are also fashionable. Leather jackets are made in nearly every color, and have a number of different styles available for purchase. As fashion has started to become more mainstream, the leather jacket has begun to be an affordable way to add some style, flair, and elegance to your wardrobe. Pairing a leather jacket with a pair of jeans or athleisure is the perfect look for a weekday, or night out.

Durability
As long as you take care of your investment your leather jacket can last years, maybe even decades. The longer you wear your leather jacket, the softer and more flexible it becomes. Which of course, means more comfortability! It’s important to remember that while leather jackets are durable, they do need to be cleaned and handled with care. It’s important to not put too many chemicals on your leather jacket, and never clean it with any chemical that you haven’t previously tested first.

Comfortability
We’ve briefly touched on this already, but leather jackets are some of the most comfortable jackets you can own. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they get. Not only does the fabric begin to lightly wear and get softer, but your leather jacket will actually fit to the shape of your body and it will truly become a jacket made custom for you! Remember, you have many options when it comes to leather jacket material - including cow leather, and even faux leather. All are equally comfortable!
