Just got my first black leather jacket. Now I'm bad! It's a used jacket, and might just be a little too short, but it's mine!

But I have a question. It was listed as "only a couple of months old worn 2-3 times so it's like new". Then why is it so rumpled, creased and crinkly looking?

Jonesy that looks pretty pristine to me but really any leather can look wrinkled or smooth depending on storage. The best way to tell if a jacket is old or new is by examining the knits or the lining of signs of discolouring or wear or evidence of sweat. Leather brand new can be all wrinkled and take a few wears to flatten out and told to one's chase, as it were. This may be superfluous advice but never iron.
The jacket was only worn by myself 2-3 times so probably not more than a few hrs at most from when it arrived new from SB, when not worn hung on a wooden hanger it was unfortunately just a tad to big for me so had to go to a new home as to why the leathers crinkled in spots your guess is as good as mine it arrived like that from SB it may the batch of leather they used?? some parts of the jacket do have a “tumbled” appearance similar to a couple of my time worn ELMC jackets, maybe it’s something they do to the Black Shinki?

Proved to be not quite enough coat for coffee in the yard so I threw this Rodex cape over it,
