"Reforming" a nubuck leather jacket

[doobs]

Hey all,

Complete noob to TFL.

Recently, I acquired this Orvis jacket:

It's very soft and comfortable, and I like it a lot.

It's almost too soft though. It's lost it's shape (assuming it ever had one) and hangs rather oddly as you can see from the photo.

Is it possible to "stiffen" the nubuck a some to look a bit more "tidy"?

Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can convey to this neophyte.

Ok, let's try this again. It's time to start wearing this jacket.

It's a very comfortable jacket. It was obviously stuffed in a box or something for an extended period or something as it's definitely lost it's "shape"

I know less than nothing about nubuck. Most of what I'm finding on the interwebs referred to suede, which this is definitely not.

Is it possible to "reform" it?

I'm thinking about sending the jacket to Arrow Leather Care in Kansas City. Any pros or con's ?

Thanks for your thoughts

Well,

It seems I'm talking mostly to myself.

The jacket was boxed up and sent to Arrow today.

Thanks for ALL the assistance....
