Can I iron leather?

[waitingforgodot]

the collar on my leather jacket looks a bit creased? i wondered if I could iron it on a low heat with a towel over it or something?

No.

(Didn't you post this thread a couple of weeks ago, too?)

No it wasn't me. I only got the jacket today.

if it is old, you can dampen it very slightly (e.g. when you clean it by sponging with soap and a moist sponge and stretch it to shape while it dries.

Some leather using in clothing is very thin or laminated to plastic and will not dry flat.

Ah sorry, wfg, we had a very similar thread not so long ago. Apologies

thats ok EugeneKrabs. Its a new jacket PigletJohn. Thanks anyway. Its not too noticeable on. Just looks worse when on the hanger

you might possibly get some "care" info from the makers, or maybe there is trade assoc.

My leather stuff is bike hide, which is much thicker and solid, without a glossy applied finish, and will shrink back to shape if dampened and held to shape while it dries, but I think your collar may a fashion leather and different (unless the jacket is very heavy).

Thanks PigletJohn
I wore it in the rain yest and although I didnt get it wet, the damp weather definitely seems to have made a difference. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
