Usually not....However, you can purchase some 'leather protector' treatments that can make your leather more resistant to small amounts of rain. However, if it is pouring out, a leather coat or boots are probably not your best bet!

To some extent, yes, but the boots need to be dried thoroughly as soon as possible. The outer surface of most boots and shoes (except for suede) is usually finished with wax products that keep water from soaking deeply into the leather, at least for a while. But seams are vulnerable. There are products available for waterproofing leather.

Real leather should not be exposed to too much water, dust or heat.

It can handle a small amount of water but if you expose it to a huge amount i.e. water it in snowy or rainy weather, it will absorb it and cause dryness, stiffness, tearing, and cracking.

So the bottom line is, you should not expose your leather jacket to too much snow or water.

how did you get that answer

You can wear a leather jacket in the rain and snow, but you should take the time to dry it afterwards. Leather is a highly porous material, containing thousands upon thousands of small holes. These holes constantly absorb moisture from the surrounding environment, which can be beneficial as it protects the leather from drying out.

hope it help

Yes you can, just make sure that you take proper care of it because leather does not do best in water. Try not to get the leather TO wet with melted snow

No. Leather used for clothing is treated to be waterproof
