Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

^^ Precisely.

I did do this in the context that I was on my own sleeping on living room floor - but like camping indoor!

Well guess the consensus is don’t sleep in your jacket

But then if you’ve never tried it you may now be tempted - it did few rather good when I was laying on my back - especially with the cold, fever and shiver - I actually felt quite secure and safe lol

Probably watched too much mad max sleeping in jacket ready for action.

You may want to give it a try next time when missus is not around!

Yes, but I had a solid few beers beforehand. It didn't break the jacket in much.

Lol. No, I’ve never worn a leather jacket to bed.

My Schott 141, was pretty “boxy” when I first got it. I wore it pretty much every day for about 7 months, and it’s broken in very nicely.

For my motorcycle riding leather jackets, it’s the tried and true, get caught in the rain and keep riding until either, I arrive at my destination, or it dries in the wind. I generally give the jacket a conditioning once it’s dry. The jackets always fit better and more comfortably afterwards.

the thing with leather jacket if you wear it un zipped to sleep, you might accidentally end up with unnatural back crease like diagonal crease across your back, when I did I zip up the jacket and it was not a great sleep. I sometime use the jacket as a blanket or hold it like a roll
