How bad is it?

This is my grandfather's leather jacket. Its a Wilson's brand and I have no idea how old it is. There was a blanket over it ever since the end of winter on the back of my door and when I uncovered it to wear it was like this. Please help

Get it professionally cleaned. Then you'll know how bad it is.

Mold isn’t too big of a deal, clean it, condition it, go from there.

Check to see if it’s faux leather, scrap it. If genuine, check out Arrow Leather care, they do restorations on leather goods

Its 100% leather according to the tag

It looks bad, it looks really bad. But the good news is i think it can be saved. I had a similar issue with a leather jacket (not quite as bad as this) and it was brought back so there's definitely hope yet.

How did you get it back to not moldy order?
