since the last washing, the right sleeve has picked up more creases than the left making it a tad shorter :confused:... should I condition it or BURN it?
yep I'm 37 and those toys are mine including the small koala and purple bear :( ...

That is one reason why I would never put a leather jacket through a washing machine cycle. Never know what the 'final' results will be. One area or sleeve can shrink up to display a quite noticeable mismatch.

I learnt the hard way. Not with the washing machine but the tumble dryer machine. Got one satisfactory result but aso got a horrible one after the first good one so never going to do that again. If a jacket doesn't fit the way you want it's better to sell it than trying this kind of things.

I lost one jacket in the process that fortunately was second hand and "cheap" but hey now I have an extra Talon zipper lying around, right?

left sleeve is more supple than the right and less willing to pick up creases, the right one is easier to crease now after washing, before they hardly record creases for almost a year
