Hello leather lovers,
Last year this community helped me pick my first and still only "real" leather jacket, an Aero Hooch Hauler in CXL FQHH. Overall I've been very happy with it, but I am finding one irritating thing that I could use some help with fixing, of possible. The lapels and, to a lesser degree the collar tips, 'fly away' from the main body instead of lying flat, and it drives me crazy!!! It's something small but I find it really detracts from the overall look. This happens both zipped up and unzipped.
I've tried spraying them with warm water before wearing and just in general, but they've stayed exactly the same since purchase. To some degree this seems related to the design of the jacket, because the lapels seem cut and folded in a way that forces them up against, rather than neatly alongside, the collar tips. I'm also aware it may be the result of the jacket being slightly too large for me. But, if anyone can suggest some tips for getting them to lie flatter, I'd really appreciate it!
On a sort-of-related note, I bought one of the Aero hangers that came out last winter, to very mixed reviews. One thing I will say is that, after a year, my jacket has no vertical lines on either side of the zipper, despite having inside pockets on both sides. So that seems good.
Thank you!
