...faster, this morning I woke up to 80% dry jacket and i wear it to do my morning walk and grocery shopping,
here is pre and post hotwatertreatment pic
Nice wrinkling and puckering all around and also getting rid of vertical press line along the sleeve, only a cheap replica but I'm...
...waxes. Not sure if it might leave your jacket a bit stiff afterwards (depending on how yours is tanned), but I give it a slathering of vaseline afterwards. Works really well for shaping collars too. We call it the HWT (hotwatertreatment). You can also do it with cold water, and should for goat.
I am just back from a trip to southern Italy where temperatures were (still, this late in October, I went swimming and it was really warm weather and water, never before in my life, and I was born there!) that hot that the only summer hat that I owned which I deemed suitable for the weather was...
My leather is 95% practical riding gear. ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time, except maybe when it's just too blistering hot). I have picked up Fox Creek Motorcycle Classic I (1 ea) and the Fox Creek Motorcycle Classic II (3 ea).

The comparison to a charred vs. well cooked hot dog was intended as a relatable analogy. Might be a bit American-centric. I'll do my best on the fifth grader level... I have zero experience with that age level, so hopefully I get close.
If you're cooking something, you're using heat to...
Don’t condition it for a couple years! If you want, get the collar wet with hotwater and then wear it / shape it until mostly dry.
Do a search on HotWaterTreatment or HWT.

This is explanation is from "Der Filzhut (The Felt Hat), seine Geschichte und...
Yesterday I got home from some traveling and enjoyed the evening wearing a PHD fedora.
Today's walkabout I enjoyed under the brim of a Dobbs Cross Country.
Morning cold brew coffee I enjoyed while wearing a VS Weston (inspired by the Stetson Weston (a Whippet with different brim...
...they otherwise fit but you have this same length-related issue with a lot of other gloves, I'm not sure exchanging them would necessarily gain anything. I suppose you could try the hotwatertreatment and then wear them til dry, though that's a risk as of course you couldn't return them after...
