Leather clothing is roughly divided into two materials: smooth leather clothing and matte leather clothing. They need different methods to change colors. The color change of smooth leather coat can be realized by recoloring leather coat with special leather pigment. At this time, it is necessary to peel off the original color of leather and then color it. This process is not only complicated, but also requires skilled and superb technology, and it also does some harm to leather goods.

Matt leather is mainly dyed with leather dyes. This method is simple to operate and cheap. But it also has many disadvantages, such as the pigment adhesion is far less than the former method.

For example, its dyeing is not unconditional, one color can only be dyed into the corresponding color, and light colors such as pink, sky blue and purple can only be changed into dark colors, while other dark colors such as coffee, pink and camel can only be changed into black, so the selection range is too small and the limitations are too great. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious in coloring and renovating leather clothes.

Precautions for storage and maintenance

1. Leather clothing, as a highly seasonal fashion, lasts longer than other clothes. Therefore, correct maintenance and storage are particularly important. Secretary-General Wu Zhonghua said that leather clothes should be dried before collection and preservation, not exposed to the sun. Just hang them in a cool and dry place for ventilation, or turn the lining out to dry.

In order to keep the leather coat beautiful for a long time, a layer of milk or glycerin can be coated on the surface of the leather coat before collection, so that it can be stored for a long time without discoloration.

In addition, it's best to hang up the leather coat and don't fold it. Due to the limited living room area and storage space, many people pile heavy winter clothes at the bottom of the wardrobe, and the leather clothes under heavy pressure are prone to wrinkle, mildew and deformation. Therefore, leather clothes should be hung up with hangers as far as possible when stored, so as to maintain the good shape of leather clothes and prolong the service life of leather clothes.

2, in addition, leather clothing should pay attention to moisture, otherwise once it is damp and moldy, it will lose its luster and affect the fastness. Mold is the main cause of mildew in leather clothes, and humidity is the root of mold propagation. Rain, sweat and oil pollution are the three main ways to produce moisture.

If the leather coat is stained with sweat or rain, there will be a layer of enzyme or even mildew on the surface. Wipe the sweat or rain with a damp soft cloth in time, then wipe the leather surface with professional leather care products, and then hang it in the shade to dry. Don't expose it to the sun or blow dry it with a hair dryer. If it is suede leather, after wiping and drying, lightly brush it with a slightly hard brush to make it fluffy.

Finally, don't put mothballs, sanitary balls and other insect repellent drugs in the wardrobe. Such insect repellent will make leather clothes have a strong odor, which is difficult to eliminate.

The correct way is to take off the leather and send it to a professional leather maintenance shop for comprehensive cleaning, disinfection, fatliquoring, retanning, repainting, ironing and setting. The maintained leather should be put in a special leather maintenance bag (not an ordinary suit storage bag) and hung in a dry and ventilated wardrobe.
