been putting off cleaning leather jacket for months and finally started this weekend. i've already tried the obvious supermarket stuff with no luck. does it need anything special, or is it just patience?

Not in the washing machine, whatever you do. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or saddle soap, working a section at a time, then go over it with a clean damp cloth and dry it off. The lining can be spot cleaned. For smells, a light mist of half vinegar half water inside the lining and hang it somewhere airy. Dry it on a wide hanger away from radiators and sun, then condition it. If it's suede or has a big stain, take it to a cleaner that does leather.
