Been curious- the leather on this looks super wrinkly, have seen a lot of that on the vintage sellers. Does that ease out with wear, is it not as apparent in person, or is it just how it will look and that’s the vibe you’re going for with a jacket like this?

I bought a few jackets in this state from that seller. The jackets must be crammed into boxes or something....the wrinkles ease out a bit but their ghost is always there.

What @ton312 says. It's the same as with sleeve creases. They'll never go away.
Sellers like mintvintage get these jackets in gigantic bags, crammed up with a whole bunch of other clothes. They somehow get the first pick, I dunno how it works but I've seen these bags. They try to stuff as much clothes inside as they can, it all looks like a giant ball once they open the bag, how compressed it all is inside. I'm surprised the jackets look as good as they do once out.

I bought a few jackets from that seller. He regularly has great stuff.
But the creases never completely wear off. I tried once to make them disappear on a tough Brooks CR by soaking it in the washing machine. It came out clean and intact, but still wrinkled.

Got it, thanks y’all

Thank God it's not a 44 or 46.
