schott horsehide cafe jacket help

[sjp]

looking for tips on shrinking cuffs of a schott perfecto distressed horse hide cafe racer jacket

i dipped them in hot water 2 min. each shrunk them a little, need a little more

theres no option of having them tailored before september, and this is my motorcycle jacket

thanks for any and all tips

Outside of hot water treatment, I don't think there's anything you can do short of having them tailored. From my experience, Schott HH doesn't really like to shrink at all.

thats what I'm thinking

its 1.2-1.4mm horse with vintage treatment applied by schott, 2010 perfecto CAF1 model

fits great except i get some ballooning effect on motorcycle
Cuffs are to loose air funnels in if i could shrink total circumference by 1/4-1/2 inch it would be perfect

any ideas I'm game, post um up

thanks again folks

I have stretched sleeves with the HWT- shortening them is much harder to accomplish.

In Oklahoma, we LIKE having any balloon effect in the sleeves during our well-over-100°F summers; it's helps keep us from dying.

You can't shrink them. Tailor....
