Ironing Leather

Stored your leather wrong or bought some bulk scrap and it has some wrinkles? Smooth them out with a regular, old clothes iron!

What if your leather jacket arrived new with a million wrinkles? And no amount of ironing has removed them? Maybe it’s the type of leather with which the jacket was made? Is it hopeless? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest finding a dry cleaner that specializes in leather/fur and see if they can help you out. Getting wrinkles out of a finished product is a bit harder to do, and without knowing what kind of leather it is, I don't want to suggest anything.

I would hope that is not the actual floor carpet as you could melt the fibers if someone decided to do that.

Nope, it a work table with scrap fabric on it to protect the work surface. As we mention in the video, make sure to use a heat-safe surface.

@@TheleatherguyOrg I have seen some try to iron clothes on the carpeted floor and things didn't turn out so well, so I just wanted to warn others that may not know about melting carpet.

@@markharrison1160 oh no! That must have been frustrating for them but I suppose a lesson learned the hard way is still a lesson learned :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
