DavidL Report post Posted June 25, 2015 How do you guys remove wrinkles and stretch marks in leathers like horween, or chrome tanned leathers. With fabrics there are irons, whats the way to remove wrinkles that come from the leather being rolled up? In a video of a bag being manufactured they used a specialized machine that has two hot plates flatten the leather and steam it. What do you do? stretch it out? Roll it up? brush?

mutantedelorto Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Not sure on horween or chrome tanned. But I had some really wrinkled 2mm leather that I got wet and stuck to a glass, and came out looking pretty good. Had to be reconditioned though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnv474 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 A combination of heat, moisture, and pressure does it, hence the steam iron idea. Some people lay a towel over the leather. In any case, keep the iron set on low so you don't wine up with a big piece of crispy bacon (like boiled leather). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
