Not an Indy Jacket but still leather

Post by Terrasolo »

Ok here's my situation. I have a house made in 1940. So insulation is ok, but no the best in some places. such as the closet that has my Magnoli Tyler Jacket.

Two of the closet walls are outside walls. so when you open the closet door it can be quite cold in there with the changing weather. I can't leave it open for the heat to reach it because of the cats, but at the same time i wonder if I should move my jacket out of there.

There is no dampness issue, just wasn't sure if you should keep leather jackets out of constant cold like that. I do wear it in cold weather but then it get in and out of it.

Do I have anything to worry about here or not?

Cold shouldn't be a problem, unless you're talking the teens or lower.

It's excess heat and no air circulation that gives leather fits.

I don't think you have any problems.

I grew up in a house built in the 1860's, and practically NO insulation to mention. I experienced no effect on my leather jackets due to cold air temperature .

Perfect. Thanks for that. It never really occurred to me before until I read some posts on here. I love this jacket and want to look after it properly.

Thanks again!
