Leather Jacket cleaning

[hockeymonkey85]

Hi guys,
after owning my Alpinestar leather jacket for nearly a year i have noticed these last couple of rides that on the collar a chalky colored white mark has appeared. It is a little tacky almost like a thin layer of blu-tack. I have never used any cleaners/supplers on the jacket (should i?) my mate has a similar jacket, same age, same use. We usually ride together and he is just as bemused? My guess is sweat/road salt, the thing is i don't get sweaty around the neck.

any ideas what the hell it is, why does it happen, and how do i clean and stop it.

Please help me before it takes over my whole jacket!

if a damp cloth doesn't do it, you need one of the below

Saddle soap, then hide food. As used by most stables, very cheap and very effective.
