    that jacket needs to be taken to a dry cleaners and sent out to a leather company.The finish of the coat is badly worn and needs to be cleaned and refinished. However using mild soap on small minor stains does work but sometimes there is the issue of color out on the jacket were you worked on the stain and never do this to suede.I work for a leather company and a I pick up a lot of jackets people did this to too with suede and ruined them!

    @AbdulRa7eeM there is a number of cleaners on the market you can use for leather. wal mart carries a few and mild soap does work on small stains but never use any on a suede it will have to dry cleaned by leather method if it gets stains on it! If you got money to spend 30-40 dollars you can have it dry cleaned it takes about a week with most leather experts.

    Good video but unnecessarily long i felt. Quite patronising actually. Well of course the water will be in the bowel as you are clearly illustrating. Its a shame you need to talk down to your audience, to be fair though allot of Americans are dumb unfortunately.

    Leather jackets CAN be washed in a washing machine. Pristine leather is lame anyway. Looks so much better when worn/washed. Hell, the high end designers tack on several hundred dollars to get this look.
