Yes, specifically for the sleeves and shoulders. Even if the torso is loose, the sleeves are often tailored to fit the arms. Apply silicone lube or talcum powder to your arms and the interior sleeves. This prevents the rubber from "grabbing" your shirt or skin, allowing the jacket to hang correctly and reducing stress on the heavy shoulder seams.
Lubricate regularly and isolate from the latex. Metal hardware is the #1 cause of "bronzing" (permanent black stains). Apply silicone oil to zippers for smooth operation. Crucially, when storing, wrap every zipper pull, buckle, and snap in acid-free tissue paper or plastic film to ensure they do not touch any latex surfaces.
Use a heavy-duty, wide-shouldered padded hanger. Standard hangers will "dimple" or even tear the shoulders over time due to the weight of thick latex. Use a sturdy, wide-shouldered wooden or padded hanger. Never store a long coat folded for long periods, as the weight can cause permanent creases and weaken the material at the fold lines.
Specialized hand-washing and careful drying. If the jacket is unlined, hand-wash with latex soap. If it has a lining, use a damp cloth and mild detergent on the interior, avoiding soaking the latex in harsh chemicals. Ensure the jacket is 100% dry on both sides before applying any silicone polish for storage to prevent mold.
