It also hides daily wear, dust, and small marks better than the brown variants. How does the Bridger fit? Use the WaiR tool on this page for a personalized size recommendation. Generally true to size. In between sizes, size up. How do I care for it? Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. If wet, air dry naturally, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger. Will black leather fade? Black lambskin develops a subtle, even patina over years of wear rather than the visible color shifts you see on brown leather. With proper conditioning the black holds its depth indefinitely. Is the leather waterproof? Lambskin is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. Handles snow flurries and a light rain. In sustained rain, the leather absorbs water and the down loses loft. Wipe dry promptly. Can the down be re-fluffed? Yes. Hang the jacket and gently pat each panel by hand to redistribute the fill. If sections feel flat after long storage, hang in a steamy bathroom for ten minutes and pat again. What's the warranty? A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the product is meant to age and are not defects.
