What she said, try to get unperfumed ones though, otherwise you smell like a baby for a couple of days after cleaning.

Buy a fleece, wear it over the top of your leather jacket.. No dead flies to scrape off

yes i use baby wipes to get flies off, but if it's ingrown dirt in the leather creases nik wax do good stuff in a bottle, and it' water based so doesn't rot the stitching like some waxy stuff does... don't use that stuff that comes with Dainese leathers!

You could always just leave them on - for the street cred!

I've used the Gliptone Liquid leather cleaner and conditioner and it works very well, but you do need to apply a bit of elbow grease too.
