Leather jacket care and uncreasing the treated hide of dead cows

Greetings. I have obtained an H&M leather jacket from eBay, and the leather is buttery soft like the supple hide of freshly culled infants.

However, there is trouble in paradise. One side of this cheap but handsome biker collar is stubbornly folded/creased outwardly. How does one undo such injustice so the collar is flat like the chest of a beautiful prepubescent girl?

I am also compelled to ask for a recommended waterproofing and conditioning product. What is a recommended waterproofing and conditioning product? And how often will this need to be applied? Also, do these products have a risk of actually ruining the leather's color and texture?

Aside from your bizarrely worded post ??!!! Put a towel then a flat heavy object like a brick on the offending creased area. Don't wet it or treat it unless you have to IMHO of course.
Being a big ol biker chick I have had some experience with this.

Dear bully,

The crease may be offending, but I find your need to belittle my post more offensive. Also, I will need leather advice in baby steps as this is my first leather jacket.

Thanks,
Lathered in leather

Actually the brick idea is serious. The biker chick, too. Not a good idea to 'wet' leather unless you have to, esp. with super soft garment leather.

Where the f&@k are you going to wear this thing in XX?

Upon further review, there are actually two offending creases. Double trouble.





I have photographically captured the cheap but handsome leather jacket here:

This is a little OT... but how would one go about shrinking something that is leather?
