Tailoring to prevent a reoccurring fold on a Schott 141

Hello Folks - This “new to me” jacket is a Schott 141 that’s about 18 years old. I think the jacket is perfect except for the fold shown in the photo. It seems to line up with the edge of the leather piece and the zipper on the inside. It appears with or without the liner and only disappears when fully zipped up.
Is there any way to fix or tailor so this fold disappears or is at least minimized?

Any insight or recommendations greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I thought this jacket would scratch the itch but it just made it worse. This forum isn’t helping either.

Unfortunately, I think @Bennarion is 100% right here.

Creases in leather, even with unusual means such as washing, etc generally do not go away or can they be minimized.

Looks like this one was stored zipped up (there is a thread that discussed this)

I would wear it as-is, it's not all that distracting, unless this was not represented where you acquired the jacket from - if that is the case you may consider retuning it if possible.
