How do i iron the wrinkles on my leather jacket?

Question

I kept it in a suitcase and when i opened it , it was a mess. How do i iron out the wrinkles. I tried to keep a cotton cloth on top and iron it with a steam iron, but did not help much. Any other creative ideas?

Answer 1

You don't. Leather ages and wrinkles naturally. The more wrinkles the older the leather and the cooler it looks. If you want a "clean" look , get a vinyl jacket like the other posers.

Answer 2

Hang it in the bathroom while you take a hot, steamy shower.

If the wrinkles don't steam out by themselves, gently iron the garment at a warm setting after layering clean brown paper between the iron and the leather. (Note: be careful of grocery bags; the ink can transfer, and some have a coating)

Answer 3

try ironing from the inside instead of directly on the leather and use a damp towel to add extra steam.

Answer 4

try putting your leather jacket on a hanger and the go over it with a warm hair dryer this seems to do the trick.

Answer 5

If it's real leather, try rubbing it with mink oil. That should soften it up and make the rinkles fall out.
