Do you condition your leather jacket?? Or just keep all the bugs and road grime?
Actually, when I started back riding in 2004 after a bunch of years' absence, I bought about 8 leather jackets. I just rotate between them plus a couple of summer jackets.
I use Leather Love about every six months. Mink oil also works very well. Both condition the leather and add some water repellency as well.
As there is no leather jacket that can fit me, I use textile. It washed every two years or so. I do not mind the bugs that much, but I think too much washing is not great for the material. Also, do not recondition your leather stuff too often, as overcaring makes it too soft and squishy. Then it gets stretchable, and is basically dead. I learnt that the hard way with my horse tack from times long gone.
Twice a year without fail. After a decade and 70ish thousand miles my jacket and chaps look like the day I bought them.
Once it's too hot for the leather jacket and chaps I take them into the back yard and wipe them down with saddle soap, rinse it off and then treat them with sno seal. Similar product but wax based. Also wash my denim vest and spray it with silicone. Makes everything pretty water resistant.
So my tip to you is to go buy them thin dollar store glove to put under you winter gloves that usally helps me when im winter riding my scooter
Looks great. Ride safe Jess.
My god I cant wait to ride....my poor bike stuck in the garage. TWO FEET OF SNOW 😭😭😭😭
72 degrees here in el paso
70 here in Southern California!!!
same here, currently -13 and snowing...bleh
62 in Gulfshores Alabama
-8°c, not end of the world. Spring is coming soon.
Looks good, got to try out that mink oil. Thanks!
Oh No! I make leather conditioners and have a lot of experience with this stuff. That mink oil brand has petrolium in it. It will degrade your leather. Try using something like Obenaufs. Way better ingredients.
wow no more song at the end of the videos anymore :(
yes huh! Just mostly my riding vids
@@HerTwoWheels I like that song you had at the end of all your vids, it was nice :)
You lost me at husband 😢
Hey, Jess, mink oil works really well if you put the leather in front of the wood stove or some other source of heat (a hair dryer also works) for awhile then apply the oil. It gets into the pours of the leather and really increases the water repellency of the leather. Old biker trick.
Truth! 👍
Hey Jess, love the videos keep em coming.
If you want to see real English countryside riding, ie my homeland, check out " Midlife Motorcycle Diaries" Channel and The Yorkshire Dale's episodes 😀

😎 Good video for a cold February day. I used to ride all winter (in college I had only my motorcycle). Sometimes I’d get so cold I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes. But my leather jacket is a vintage “Easy Rider” look alike, and it’s still in decent shape. I’ll have to try mink oil. Thanks.
What’s the make of your jacket, I’d like one of those 😎👍🏽 (haha, get to the end of the blog and, as if by magic, you’ve put a link in) 😂😂
I'm sure that it is tough to come up with vid ideas with the could weather here in Ohio. This was an awesome idea though! Jacket looks good!
"It's winter" I hear as I watch you ride, after putting my snowmobile away from the 2 feet of snow we got last night. I'm not jealous at all...
scrub my leather jacket down wet micro cloth warm water little dawn dish soap ... wipe off let dry ....Snow seal and blow dryer rub in by hand then blow dryer to help melt it in makes jacket almost water proof ....My jacket been in rain a lot and it still in good shape...of cores there is lots of ways to do it ....
I have not used Mink Oil I have heard it is hard on the stitching. There is a product called Lexol that is a leather treatment. Look and see if there is a leather shop or saddle maker in your area and call them and ask what they recommend. I am glad it usually rains here although we might get a little snow later this week. Spring is coming I promise :)
I would ride but we have 6 to 8 inches of snow and my bike is blown up. It’s being rebuilt
Nice vid.I have a vest that needs mink oil.good idea.peace to you and your hub.
We use something similar called Dubbing,
Jacket looks so much better you should clean leather products on a regular basis and then use a leather conditioner this will keep it soft and helps it to repel water ! another enjoyable video take care
Check out Doc Bailey’s Leather Black
I like Lexol for saddlebags and jackets and all leather I do my shoes at least a couple times a year
I bought a Vanson (American-made) leather jacket in 1970. The only "conditioner" that I applied to that jacket was an occasional shot of Amor All cleaner, Amor All preservative and some elbow grease. Yep -- the jacket still fits. Jess -- you have such lovely hair (if I may be so bold in saying). My hair is as long as yours, but I'm a bit "sparse" on top. Ha! Cheer-o, gal. Ride safe.
I'm having total jealousy. Columbus just doesn't get as cold as Cleveland. It'll be 15-24 F all this week here. And there's still a few inches of snow everywhere. So riding is out of the question.
Wow that jacket looks amazing 👍
Oh wow, that end result surprised me . Looks great.
That really turned out nice!!!! I’m sitting here having my ice coffee too!!!!
Mink oil paste is the best for most leather. 😎🏍
I don't own any heated gear and I've found the best way to warm up my hands while I"m out riding is by grabbing the head of my engine. If your gloves are leather and insulated it doesn't damage your gloves or burn you. The heads on some bikes may be harder to reach than others but it helps me a lot
Rub a dub maybe ill try it 🤯🇺🇸 .
Looks good . I’ll have to do the same .
Have a blast in Florida 👍😊
nice video as always, I use mink oil on my boots all the time and it does a great job.
I quite like the weather worn look of my bike gear, having said that I'm a little weather worn myself
I usually use Kiwi black shoe Polish Let it dry for 10 minutes then brush it.
Excellent. I ended up buying a new jacket cause my old one looks at least as bad as yours did. Since its only 5 deg F out today I think I'll go do the same with my old jacket!
Don't you just hate it when you spend a lot of time cleaning and working on something and, when you're done, can't tell any difference! (Dripping sarcasm in case you can't tell.)
Just checked out the Amazon link for your jacket. " Dual inside concealed weapon gun pockets" Wow, only in America would this be considered a feature to sell a jacket. Stay safe. Best wishes from the UK.
Ha! I thought the same thing when I got my jacket up here in Canada. Only one concealed carry pocket, though. It's good for a large iPhone.
I'm mad that I can't be out right now. I'm in the chicago suburbs and we keep getting 1-3 inches of snow seemingly every other day. Cold doesn't bother me but I don't feel like low siding continuously lol. Anyone know if snow car tires will fit on a bike 😂
You could put a chain on your rear tire like the bikers in Spokane used to do. I've never had the nerve to do it, I just stay off the road if it's white.
I was always told about mink oil and just never got it. Ama have to give it a go after seeing this!
It was just what I had on hand. I’m sure any leather conditioner would be just dandy!
Looks great
Great job. If you really want a more permanent solution, if you want to go thru the process, is to rub the jacket all over with denatured alcohol (only once) with a micro fiber cloth, then get some fiebings pro dye in black and use another microfiber cloth and wipe the whole thing down with the fresh dye(wear gloves). After you let it dry 12 hours then rub down with the mink oil. That thing will look like it came off the hanger at the store again. I do this all the time with boots. Deuces ✌️
Leather is like your skin , moisture it and it becomes youthful again
Great vid jess actually learned something thanx a mill .....

I wonder how jackets are dyed/where made these days. I've just given a leather motorcyle jacket to a charity shop, which I'd bought in 1978 (yes, but I don't look any older with my helmet on), which has been soaked, frozen, dried on radiators. But which was still jet black. Modern jackets fade really quickly. This is in the UK so I don't know where bike kit is manufactured where you are.
try saddle soap next time
Thanks for this informations what are you think about low rider s
Wheels,
Salt is our major nemesis in this area. And as I write I am warming up from plowing 6" more damn inches of snow off my drive. Thank you Mr. Deere. After I parked the tractor back in the garage I told the Road King and Goldwing their time is coming. I hope it is sooner than later.
Be well stay warm.. Might I suggest we have a Her Two Wheels picnic out in your area. Not wanting to make extra work for you....you just pick / secure the spot since you are local. Everybody bring something and have a pot luck lunch.
Here's one for you old (like 1960s) little leaguers - use neetsfoot oil on a jacket. Back then it fixed my Mickey Mantle autographed baseball glove up after several days of leaving it out in the backyard - and through an Iowa downpour too boot! Heck...I was only 9 years at the time. It has faded again after 6 months but a repeat process should bring it right back. Now if I can just find something to wipe on to bring the tattered 1997 lining back!
Hi Jess❤️🌹❤️I used to clean then condition my jacket & boots at the end of every summer, ready for the Autumn & Winter rains. This may sound excessive, but my bike was my life - it was my only form of transportation. Look of your gear, and it will look after you.
See ya in the next video. Cheers
If it's any consolation to you Ohioans, it's slightly above freezing here in Maryland. Put in about 220 miles yesterday and didn't bring my heated gear - what a dumb a$$! Couldn't straighten my fingers all the way for a few hours. But my soul and my head are both clear and re-centered. Thanks for the tip about reconditioning my leathers! Keep riding and posting Jess!!!!
Hi and greetings from the UK. Glad to see you using mink oil. Ive been using it for years. I also do my car seats. You wont be disappointed. Love the channel. 🇬🇧👍👍❤️
I don't have a leather jacket, but your video did remind me that my leather boots need some attention. I appreciate the reminder. An hour north of C-bus and the only thing I'm willing to ride right now is my Grizzly....very slow. Thanks to Doodle I even know about your channel. Love to support fellow a Buckeye. You mind doing a heated gear video? Been looking at battery op heated gloves so I can ride down to 30deg at 60mph.
Try saddle soap first then the mink oil. It will really Pop. It looks great and remember to wear heated gear😂. Thanks for sharing. Much love... Stay healthy and safe and warm...
I've been flown to hospital myself from ATV accident and they aren't cheap by any means. 9 years ago, my 16 minute ride cost around 14 grand.
Not bad, I use my old shoe brush from the Army, I have a good number for different types of use. While mink oil works there is another that will also refresh your leather making it softer. I can’t remember the old stuff but any cheap skin cream moisturizer will help leather last. I have a jacket lasting over 25 years, it was while in Korea I was informed about this by a leather dealer. Ponds cold cream is what I use.
Jess i have used mink oil in the past but a few years back found another product I like better called "Sno-Seal" a one step polish & waterproofing with bees wax formula. Been using on my Ridings jacket and pants, boots also my hunting boots for many years now. A tip I use is to pre-heat with a hair dryer a section at a time. Or in summer set out in the sun. Probably can find it on Amazon or Vances. Ride Safe
And just like that it’s brand spankin new. Thanks for the tips. Ordered the stuff for mine and my wife.
This has been on my to-do list as well for my ATWYLD jacket! The before and after is so satisfying
Right! I LOVE a good before and after! haha!
Hey Jess love the videos. You inspired me to want to start a TH-cam channel. I’m having a hard time figuring out a name. How did you come up with your name? Any tips?
What was that product you used on your leather jacket Jess? Or is it in the description. Oops never mind. Wait what kind of oil? LOL.... Oops I seen it mink oil. Loco Ocho open your eyes 👀. Great video 👍
Easy way to oil chaps is to wear them and rub in the oil like you'd "wash your legs" ...bonus if you wear leather gloves to do it (then the gloves get oiled at same time) 😁👍🏻
Also other leather care/conditioner products used for horse saddles work great if the leather jacket is reallllllly dried out!
Ohio!? Girl its -30 up here all weekend plus the salt.....nope my harleys are sitting. Up here is Wisconsin by the way lol
Conditioning leather is a must! I make custom leather goods, and always tell let my customers know how to condition their products. But I actually tell them too avoid mink oil. Natural animal derived oils will over time break down the fibers in leather. I always recommend Huberds shoe grease. It is vegetable derived and will not break down the leather over time. It is amazing and easily found on Amazon.
I'm hoping to get my bike this spring, April maybe. Ninja 650!
You got to stop messing around and get some heated gloves. If you don't want the plug in ones, get some battery operated one's, just get an extra set of batteries for a couple of extra hours of riding. That will give you 4 hours of heat on High. Though I think that medium will be fine, if you get a good pair. And me being a helmet freak, I'm digging that helmet your wearing.
I hate this cold and snow. For my boots & my coat I use Huberds Shoe Grease. It smells of turpentine and smoke. Almost like a pine campfire. If you want to really get a nice black look for Lincoln Stain Wax. Its an all natural shoe polish and also smells wonderful.
Would love to see a review video dedicated to women’s riding gear (leather jackets, gloves, vest). I’ve been looking all over TH-cam and there are not many videos geared towards women. I am about to purchase a new vest and gloves....not sure what route to go with 🤔
I really need to do my leathers. It's been a while I like the worn look but I know they need to be conditioned every year or so.
Next time try doing your jacket on an ironing board. Save your back, hahaha...
If you need to protect your bike from the road salt, invest in some ACF 50, great protection against the elements and road salt.
I finally heard the whistling everyone talks about. On another note about romping on it and getting out into traffic. I did that yesterday on my bike going for a quick rip and tripped the traction control. I didn't even realize my bike came with traction control, I thought only the higher end models got it.
You have a nice day and nice leather jacket you're beautiful ride safe always and God bless for your rides I love you 😘😘😘
Wet non shedding cloth rub down for grime, saddle soap, mink oil, heat gun. Sheds water keeps it nice and doesn’t polish out the wear.
Using Saddle Soap before the Mink Oil will really get the road grime off.
The brush is meant for brushing shoes after you spit shine them. Not for cleaning a jacket...
Your crazy with your ice coffee lol, but i love your jacket. Looked cool with that faded look and looks even better after conditioning it!
Ha Jess , You had me scared there for a minute, I thought you were going to shoe-polish the jacket... lol.
I use " Dubin" leather wax to do the same, and at the same time it does "water-proof" my leathers. It doesn't remove the Patina so much as you did ..... I love the worn-in look, which BTW, = { No Noob on this bike....lol } ..... But, it does make the leathers A-one water proof, if done on a 3~4 month chore. Stay Safe.
I definitely need to get a new bike!!
I'm hoping kawasaki has the h2 eliminator come out this year like rumor has said
About 1 min. 20 sec's into the vid; LOVE and miss that sound.
Love your videos thank you and your husband. I hope to make it out to Ohio this summer. Ride safe 🙏🙏
Wow, what a difference on the jacket! I hope you had a great time in FL!
Hi Jess, Your jacket looks great. What did you do to protect or clean your bike after your ride with salt on the road?
Dat was superaa fab and easy recovery Jess ❤😍 awaiting to watch ur florida videos 🤗
Nothing like something new something old and something new looking again thanks for sharing girl✌
Back to Ohio eh,can't wait to see the videos from Florida :D
And to see how was to ride that beast 😁
Hi Jess,
Here in Maryland is crazy weather to . I can’t wait until spring time I will be Riding to London.
Your channel is so much fun, Exciting and informative. Your jacket looks great by the way.
I wonder if black shoe polish would work...?
I am waiting for your videos every week and every moment I appreciate your great work and your Instagram replies too
In youtube there are some people are very egoistic but you are not have a safe ride girl
Or it's just a police chopper looking for a serial killer hiding in your backyard
Happy valentine day 💖 Jess 🌹 love you 😚😚😚
I always use a good hand cream like lubriderm on my leathers. Works well on leather car seats too. Just let it soak in and rub with a clean towel.
Hello, my friend.
You are also the best female rider in the world.
Have a happy day.
👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌
yup mink oil does the trick everytime lol i use the saddle kind and its amazing glad to see youre getting the mink on!!!
I use mink oil on all my leather gear works awesome 👍
You should have put both hands up high in the air as you passed by the PoPo car! That would have made his day probably. Ha Ha! Great Video!
Loved the worn look but it's hard to beat a nice black leather jacket 👍🏼
I got a question about ce armor denim jeans 👖? Witch one is good?
I always take care of my leather boots and all when I use to have horse etc. Leather will last a life time if taken care of. I'm waiting on a starter relay right now. I plan on getting heated gear for rides under 40 degrees I run warm so simple thermals and good gloves and my leather is enough this summer going to be want even with all vents etc open. One use saddle soap and sponges to clean ya jacket tractor supply carries a liquid saddle soap that is awesome fiebing it's in spray form. I use the fiebings neatsfoot compound for oil. Basically it mink oil neatsfoot oil and a touch of silicone. I use to make my own mix on the farm. The mink and neatsfoot oil our great compliment to leather the touch of silicone helps with water proofing even lil more. The key is touch of silicone or you loses the leathers breathability. If ya make ya own 4 oz mink oil to 4 oz neatsfoot to tsp of silicone oil shake well store in a mason jar. I use qaultiy sponges for it and horse hair if I want to buff it shiny most the time the horse hair brush is rarely needed. Extra muddy days I keep a different horse hair brush to knock it down to sponge level. Depending on the brush horse hair serves two purpose. When all said and done I like taking a microfiber cloth and giving a good wipe down or a fine cloth towel.
You should have been doing it. I always try to
