I had a Fox Creek motorcycle jacket that was a mold magnet. I had to wipe it down every day. After loosing the battle for 6 months I sold it.
Once the mold spores get imbedded in the leather they are difficult to stop. I think it was just a bad batch of leather.
My house is kept at 35% humidity. I fought a tough battle but the spores won.

I mean I don’t know why you would buy a jacket that’s already moldy and restore it? Just save up your money for a better jacket or buy another used jacket that isn’t moldy. I’d rather buy a brand new polyester jacket than a moldy leather one imo.

Hello! Can anyone tell me what model of Schott this is, approximate year of manufacture? There is no tag with the model number. Thank you very much in advance!

Mold can be successfully dealt with using generous amounts of Vinegar from what I heard of here on TFL. Maybe a bit of soda too to push it deeper in..
