Troubleshooting
Jacket appears creased or wrinkled
Hang the jacket on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period (do not let it get wet). For stubborn creases, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Leather feels dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner to a soft cloth and gently rub it into the leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff off any excess. Repeat if necessary, but avoid over-conditioning.
Surface scuffs or minor marks
