Will Wrinkles Come out of Leather Jacket
[ Ссылка ]

The leather jacket is an iconic piece, adored by men and women alike. This timeless wardrobe staple never goes out of style so it’s no wonder why so many of us wear our leather jackets with pride year in and year out.

However, without the proper care, leather jackets can end up wrinkled and distressed. There are many types of wrinkles that can form on leather, and while some of those might be easier to remove with the methods listed below, some of the heavier ones are more stubborn and may be harder, if not impossible, to remove. If the wrinkles on your jacket are very deep, it might be worth considering buying a new one.

Like most things, preventing the problem is easier than trying to cure it – so stopping wrinkles from forming on leather jackets in the first place is the best approach, however, that’s not to say that wrinkles cannot be significantly reduced – read on to find out more.

PREVENTING WRINKLES ON LEATHER JACKETS
A few ways to care for your leather jacket to prevent wrinkled leather or considerably slow down the process of leather wrinkling are:

QUALITY HANGERS – Taking just a few minutes to hang up your leather jacket in your wardrobe using a strong and sturdy coat hanger can elongate the lifespan of your jacket significantly. For example, using a wooden coat hanger with wide shoulders will hold the weight of the jacket, helping to keep its shape and prevent wrinkles.

USE A GARMENT BAG WHEN TRAVELLING – By transporting your leather jacket in a breathable garment bag whilst you travel, you are avoiding creating wrinkles caused by folding your jacket into your suitcase plus other potential damage from other items within your suitcase such as creams and aftershave.

If you do not want to buy a garment bag, an old sheet can also provide good protection. Cut a sheet in a large enough square to cover your jacket, ensuring to make a hole in the center to accommodate the hook of the hanger. The sheet protects the jacket from dirt and dust, whilst allowing the leather to breathe.
CONDITIONING THE JACKET – Conditioning is a vital form of care and maintenance for leather jackets. Wrinkles are more likely to form when your leather jacket is dry, so applying a leather conditioning product helps to moisturize the leather and naturally lowers the risk and severity of wrinkles. Ensuring your jacket is cleaned properly can also help in preventing wrinkles.

HOW TO GET WRINKLES OUT OF LEATHER JACKETS


Sometimes, it’s too late and the wrinkles are already there. To help significantly reduce wrinkles on leather jackets, some methods include:

PULLING THE LEATHER JACKET
STEAMING THE JACKET IN THE BATHROOM
USING HEAVY BOOKS OR OTHER WEIGHTY OBJECTS
CAREFULLY IRONING THE JACKET
PULLING THE LEATHER JACKET


Removing wrinkles from a leather jacket can often be as simple as giving the jacket a good pull so it’s best to try this method first before trying any of the others.

Place your leather jacket on a sturdy and wide clothes hanger and hang it somewhere where it won’t fall off
Now, pull down from under the creased or wrinkled area and continue doing this for about five minutes, being sure not to pull too hard – you don’t want to overstretch the fabric
The leather should now retain its new, smooth shape
