How to remove wrinkles from a leather jacket

To keep your leather jacket wrinkle-free, storage is key. After wearing, hang it on a hanger and store it in a spacious closet. If you get caught in the rain, let the jacket dry naturally in a straightened position.

Crafted from premium lamb leather, our jackets are designed to withstand any weather, they are thin yet soft. If your jacket gets wrinkles from improper storage, don't worry. They're easy to fix, and your jacket will look like new again. Any wrinkles can be quickly and easily smoothed out at home.

Wearing

Got a few small creases on your leather jacket? No worries! Just wear it for a few hours. Those minor wrinkles will likely straighten out on their own while you're rocking your jacket. This simple trick can help smooth out a new jacket or one that was stored improperly. Just remember, this won't work on deep creases, but for those little ones, it's a breeze!

Hangers

This method might take some time, but it costs nothing. Perfect for small and fresh wrinkles. Here's how to smooth out your natural leather jacket at home with just a hanger:

1. Give the jacket a good shake.
2. Hang it on a suitable hanger (one that matches the shoulder span perfectly).
3. Fasten the buttons or zipper, then smooth it out with your hands.
4. Hang the jacket in the closet, making sure it doesn't touch other clothes.

With soft leather, the folds and wrinkles should disappear in a few days. For thicker, rougher leather, it might take a week or more. This method likely won't work for severe deformations.

Steaming

Steaming is a quick way to remove even deep creases from your leather jacket. You can do this in two ways:

Bathtub Method

Fill your bathtub with hot water.

Hang your jacket above the water on a hanger and close the door tightly.

Let it steam for at least 30 minutes.

Occasionally wipe the surface with a dry cloth to prevent moisture buildup.

After steaming, let the jacket dry in a well-ventilated room.

Steam Iron or Steam Generator

Use a steam iron or steam generator, but be careful not to touch the leather with the heated surface.

Start with the sleeves and collar, keeping the steamer or iron at least 15 cm away. Move quickly and carefully to avoid deforming the leather.

After steaming, let the jacket dry in a well-ventilated room.

Can I iron a leather jacket?

We strongly advise against using an iron on leather items. Leather is a biological material, and exposing it to high temperatures can cause serious damage.

The most common result of using a hot iron on leather is the formation of a bumpy surface that won't smooth out later. Even if you use a piece of fabric as a protective measure, the leather's texture can still warp from the heat. Sure, the wrinkled area might flatten out, but you'll be left with a "bubble" where the iron touched.

Common Mistakes

Here's what not to do when smoothing a leather jacket at home:

• Don't straighten creases with a hair dryer.
• Don't stretch a jacket with your hands.
• Don't iron very soft or thin leather.
• Don't let water get on the surface during steaming.

To ensure your leather jacket lasts and retains its original appearance, store it properly and remove creases with care.
