Frequently asked questions

Orders

General
What is a regular order?

Regular order is an order of any pre-listed product on our website in a regular size/fit.

What are pre orders?

Pre-orders are the orders placed through The Jacket Maker's Pre Launch campaign. By pre-ordering such products, you are able to get them at a discounted price and be the first ones to own the product.

Do you have regular products in stock? Or are they made to order?

Products marked as prime are ready in stock. Whereas, non-prime products are made to order. To ensure the best quality products at a minimal price, we keep only our top selling products in stock and mostly focus on made to order. This strategy helps us in reducing the product cost by eliminating the warehouse cost and at the same time, helps in fighting environmental pollution by maintaining production with less waste.

Can I change or cancel the order once it has been placed?

You can ask for order cancellation or change within 2 days of placing the order. If the order is dispatched, you will have to accept it and then return it for a refund or exchange.

How can I track my order?

When your order is shipped, you will automatically receive a notification along with the tracking link via email.

Can I get any type of product custom made? What details do I need to provide?

Yes, you can get literally any type of product custom made from us. You can share any picture or design for reference and write the description of your product in the Custom Order Form.

Can I get my jacket custom made in any type of leather?

Absolutely Yes! It all starts with leather, over the years we have become experts in leather, getting it made from one of the finest tanneries of the world. Our core proposition is the best quality leather that ranges from Lambskin, Sheepskin and Goatskin to Buffalo-hide and Cow-hide. We have the experience of making jackets in over 200 different leather articles differentiated by type, pattern, colors, shades & thickness.

Do you deal in fabrics other than leather for custom orders?

Yes, where our core strength is leather, we also make custom orders in other fabrics like cotton, polyester, satin, wool and other fabrics.

I am reluctant to place a custom order; how can I pay for something I have not seen in actual? I am concerned about sizing, design and quality.

We totally understand your concerns about the sizing, design, and quality of your custom order. We’ve worked really hard on processes to make sure we make the best possible custom order as per your expectation. We have worked out each of these issues

Sizing
Solution: When you place your custom order, our CS agent asks for your body measurement. Please refer to our sizing guide to take your body measurements. When you take your measurements correctly, there are zero chances for sizing errors.

Design & Quality
Solution: To give you a better visualization of how your final custom product will look like, we share a
digital illustration made by our creative team with the customer before proceeding with the order.

Also, before dispatching your order, we share pictures of your actual product with you. You can review the design, material, and stitching before we dispatch it. So this reason is potentially eliminated.

Which form of payment do you accept?

You can make the payment through PayPal or Credit Card. We use SSL secured checkout so you can make the payment without any worries.

Why was my payment declined? What should I do?

Your payment may have been declined due to any of the following reasons:

Incorrect billing address and phone number:
Make sure that the billing address listed in your account matches that associated with your payment method.

To protect our customers, we regularly perform security checks on orders placed through Credit/Debit cards. If your order has been selected for review, we will request you to share an alternative email address and phone number.

Are there any charges for requesting custom order, getting quotation and discussing custom order?

Product Care

Cleaning
How should I clean my leather garment?

Proper care and treatment of your leather garment increases the life of it and allows you to continue enjoying the style and benefits of having a leather jacket that’s as good as new.

Here are a few simple steps to help you clean your leather garment.

  • Remove any dust or dirt by using a soft brush and gently brushing to the garment.
  • Clean the garment using a cleaning solution of water (preferably distilled water) and neutral soap (without any chemicals). Moisten a microfiber cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down, from top to bottom, the outside of the garment.
  • Dampen another cloth with just the water and wipe the garment again to remove the soap.
  • Wipe off any excess water to ensure no water marks are left on the garment and quickly dry with a clean towel.
  • Hang the garment to let it dry naturally. Never use an air dryer and keep the garment away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

P.S. For deep cleaning, it is always recommended to go to a cleaner that specializes in leather.

Can I wear a leather jacket in the rain?

Whilst mild rain is perfectly okay and wouldn't cause any or much damage to your leather jacket, the leather should not be exposed to significant amounts of moisture over a prolonged length of time.

In case, the leather may come into contact with water or exposed to rain, you should quickly wipe it off and allow it to dry by hanging the garment in a cool & dry place, far from direct sunlight and heat sources.

What else should I do for the care of my leather garment?

Our leather jackets are not water-resistant by default and exposure to water and significant amounts of moisture can make your jacket brittle and dry.

If you choose, you can apply a water-resistant product to your garment, following the instructions of the manufacturer; however, The Jacket Maker does not take any responsibility for any damage caused by the use of such products.

It is advisable to keep your jacket clean from dust and dirt, and condition it once or twice a year to maintain the new looks of the leather, as well as keeping it strong and providing it with some protection from water damage.

We also recommend you to avoid dry cleaning, machine washing, tumble drying, using bleach, detergents and chemical soaps, ironing and force drying your leather garment. Additionally protect your leather garment from direct sunlight, rain, humidity, alcohol, oil, grease, and other abrasive products and cleaners with caustic ingredients.

How should I store my leather garment?

In order to maintain the looks and shape of your leather garment, it is highly important to know how to store your leather garment.

Here are a few suggestions that will help you keep your leather jacket in proper shape.

  • Use a breathable garment bag for storing the leather jacket, avoid plastic packaging.
  • Use padded or wooden hangers to hang the leather jacket, this will help keep the garment in shape.
  • Do not keep or hung the garment folded.
  • Always store the leather garment in a cool and dry place and keep it away from direct sunlight or high heat sources.
