MARA Leather Warranty
At Mara Leather, we craft pieces meant to be worn for decades, and we back that promise with a Lifetime Warranty covering flaws in materials and workmanship. If a problem traces back to how your piece was made, we'll fix it by repairing, replacing, or rebuilding it.
What We Cover
- Leather: Genuine leather used in our jackets, vests, gloves, and other leather goods
- Hardware: Zippers, buckles, snaps, rivets, D-rings, and any other metal fittings
- Construction: Broken stitching, separated seams, and faulty linings
This applies to both ready-made and custom pieces, whether shipped within the country or abroad. Items made from canvas, denim, twill, or mesh aren't covered for fabric defects, though their hardware remains protected.
What We Don't Cover
- Natural aging: Fading, creasing, patina, and light surface scuffs that come with regular wear
- Accidents and misuse: Cuts, tears, punctures, burns, heat exposure, impact damage, and pet damage
- Changes made after purchase: Patches, added hardware or decorations, alterations by anyone other than Mara Leather, and dyes or chemical treatments
- Poor care: Machine washing, harsh cleaners, mold or mildew from improper storage, and water damage from soaking
A Note on Patches
After patches (iron-on, sewn, or adhesive) or any other permanent embellishments are added, the piece is no longer eligible for return, exchange, or warranty repair. Taking patches off harms the leather and stitching, so we couldn't accurately judge defects or restore the piece. Please confirm the fit and quality are right for you before customizing.
Protecting Your Coverage
- Use leather-specific cleaners and condition your piece on a regular basis
- Spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry
- Keep your piece somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and heat
- Never machine wash or tumble dry, and avoid bleach and household cleaning products
Making a Claim
- Reach out: Email info@maraleatherstore.com or call 7038705097 with your order number and a short description of the problem.
- Share photos: Include a close-up of the issue, a shot of the whole piece, and any attached tags or labels.
- Await our decision: We typically reply within 1-2 business days with our decision and shipping details.
- Send it in: You pay to ship the item to us, and we pay to ship it back. Please pack it securely and choose a trackable service.
- We take it from there: We'll repair the piece, swap it for the same item, rebuild it to its original specifications, or provide an equal-value alternative if it's been discontinued.
Care Details
Fine leather lasts for years when it's cared for properly. Here's how to keep your Mara piece looking its best.
Please avoid
- Bleach or any harsh chemical cleaners
- Washing, soaking, or tumble drying
- Storing or hanging your piece folded, as creasing can leave permanent marks
- Heat sources (radiators, hairdryers, car dashboards) and prolonged moisture
- Storing in plastic or vinyl bags, which trap humidity and can dry out or damage the leather
- Prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade color and dry the surface
We recommend
- Wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt
- Following the Mara Leather care steps included with your purchase
- Storing in a breathable cloth bag (the dust bag provided is ideal)
- Hanging on padded or wooden hangers to preserve shape
- Visiting a professional leather specialist for deep cleaning or conditioning when needed
With a little care, your Mara Leather piece will age beautifully and last for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a shearling jacket?
A shearling jacket is made from sheepskin that is tanned with the wool left attached. The suede side faces out and the natural wool lines the inside, which makes the jacket warm, soft and wind-resistant.
What is the best leather thickness for shearling leather jackets?
The ideal leather thickness for a shearling leather jacket is generally around 0.8–1.2 mm for lightweight designs and 1.0–1.4 mm for more structured, durable jackets. The best thickness depends on the hide, garment construction, and intended use. Genuine shearling also includes a wool layer, which adds warmth and bulk without requiring excessively thick leather.
What is the difference between shearling, sheepskin and suede?
Sheepskin is the hide itself. Shearling is sheepskin with the wool still attached, usually a short, dense layer. Suede is leather with a brushed, napped surface and no wool, so it needs a separate lining for warmth.
Is MARA Leather shearling real or faux?
Check the product description for each style, as the material is listed there. Genuine shearling is real sheepskin with natural wool, while faux shearling is a synthetic fabric made to look similar. Call (703)-870-5097 if you want to confirm the material before ordering.
How warm is a shearling jacket?
Shearling is one of the warmest natural materials for outerwear. The wool traps body heat and the outer layer blocks wind, so it suits cold winter days well. It also regulates temperature, so it tends to feel less stuffy than synthetic insulation.
Can I wear a shearling jacket in rain or snow?
Light snow is usually fine if you brush it off promptly, but heavy rain and soaking can stain the suede and mat the wool. A shearling jacket is not waterproof, so avoid prolonged wet weather. A suede protector spray applied before the season adds some resistance.
What should I do if my shearling jacket gets wet?
Shake off the water and blot it gently with a clean towel without rubbing. Hang it on a padded hanger at room temperature, away from radiators, hairdryers and direct sunlight. Heat can shrink the hide and leave it stiff.
Is a shearling jacket good for motorcycle riding?
It works well as cold-weather riding apparel because it blocks wind and keeps you warm. It offers limited crash protection unless the product description lists armor or protective features. For real impact and abrasion protection, wear armor underneath.
How should a shearling jacket fit?
It should fit comfortably across the shoulders and chest with room for a sweater underneath. The wool lining adds bulk, so a slightly roomier cut than a regular leather jacket is normal. Compare the size chart on the product page with a jacket you already own, since the chart shows garment measurements, not body measurements.
What size should I order if I’m between sizes?
Choose the Made To Measure option if it’s available for your jacket, or call (703)-870-5097 for personal sizing guidance. If you plan to layer heavily, the larger size may be better. Otherwise stay with the smaller one, since the wool lining compresses a little with wear.
Will a shearling jacket stretch or break in?
Yes, the suede softens and the wool lining relaxes over the first weeks of wear. The jacket will mold to your shape without losing its form. Avoid sizing up too far, because it won’t shrink back.
How do I clean a shearling jacket?
Never machine wash or tumble dry it. Brush the suede side gently with a suede brush to lift dust, and spot clean small marks with a slightly damp cloth. For deep cleaning, take the jacket to a professional specialist who works with shearling.
How should I store a shearling jacket in the off-season?
Make sure the jacket is clean and completely dry. Hang it on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from sunlight. Use a breathable cloth bag, not plastic, which traps moisture and can damage the hide and wool.
Can I customize a MARA Leather shearling jacket?
MARA Leather offers customization including sizing adjustments and personalization on many styles. Contact our team at (703)-870-5097 with your request and they will explain the options for your chosen jacket. Note that alterations made after purchase by anyone other than MARA Leather are not covered by the warranty.
Does the lifetime warranty cover shearling jackets?
MARA Leather’s lifetime warranty covers flaws in materials and workmanship, including leather, hardware and construction. It does not cover natural aging, accidents, misuse or poor care. Review the full warranty details on the product page before ordering.
How long does a shearling jacket last?
With proper care, a genuine shearling jacket can last for many years, often decades. Brush it regularly, keep it dry, and store it correctly. The suede will develop a natural patina over time.
Jacket sizing can vary by brand and style. After placing your order, please share your body chest and waist measurements with us at info@maraleatherstore.com or text them to (703) 870-5097. Our team will use these measurements to help ensure the best possible fit.
