Best way to treat a heavily creased leather jacket?

[Rawky]

Hi All,

Hope you've been keeping well.

I'm on the ebay hunt again and have come across this Schott 674 for a reasonable price:

Unfortunately, it's heavily creased. They mention it will need "sorting out" in the description, but what is the best way to get rid of creases in a leather jacket? Here's a full image for reference:

These “bundled” jackets hurt my eyes. Only @Marc mndt has been successful at minimizing the damage.

Get it wet and then let it dry flat on a drying rack with a towel between the rack and the jacket.
When the jacket is 90% dry wear it and let it dry fully on on you.

This is my drying setup:

Have we seen you wearing that lace shirt jacket? I don't recall now.

Thanks for the tip!

It's a bit much, but it really feels great on the bike.
It is only half lined, and the leather is really thick and supple, makes you feel like you are riding without a leather jacket.
I really like riding with it in summer.

Ok not to get off topic but what kind of bike do you ride? It's probably somewhere on here but just curious.

He rolls on a turbocharged Vespa with flames on the side. He jams to Macklemore’s Downtown when riding.

I used to have a GS 1150. the best bike I ever had. I still wonder today why I sold it.

Nice Bike! Could be great for touring around Europe. That really suits you to a T.

I love the gold rims on a GS.

I'm sorely tempted to get the rims on my little Trumpet refurbed in gold when I do some things to it over the winter.

Thanks.
Being able to cary so much stuff on a bike is a game changer, i have barely used my car since getting the GS.
Weather protection is also really good, i rode all winter, in the rain, the cold, it it was great.
It's really an amazing machine.
