    It did work for me. Thanks a lot.
    I have a leather jacket size 46 that I bought 18 years ago when I was 180 pounds and muscular. Currently, I am size 38 and 164 pounds, yes very slim. I paid for the jacket $400 and I was hoping to sell it for $50 to $100 but nobody replied my Ad.
    I was about give it away or tailor it to my needs although I have no experience what so ever doing so. When I saw your video to shrink a leather jacket using a dryer machine, I thought: "If the trick does not work I have nothing to loose".
    I used your recommendations and the result was amazing! No to perfection but at least I can use my jacket again. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers!
    I like to post how I did it so here it goes.
    Instructions:
    Washer Machine: Hand wash cycle, medium load (amount of water), COOL WATER to was and rinse.
    Dryer Machine: Select COTTON (high heat), Select More Dry. Run for 30 minutes and check if it fits. Restart and stop the dryer machine until desire fit. Enjoy!

    Thanks so much, this worked great! I tried this technique on my 1989 l.l. bean A2 goat hide jacket that was a size 46 tall. Before the arms were much too long and the torso felt baggy. Now it fits perfectly in both regards and looks way better now. I didn't have any fabric softener on hand so I just did a 20 minute quick wash with cold water, (no detergent), and put it in the dryer for 80 minutes on high heat, taking it out every 10 minutes to check on it. The knits were unaffected and I believe the '3M Thinsulate' jacket lining shrunk a tad as well, but prior to trying this technique the lining was very baggy to begin with so it was a good thing.

  • @Guinea54
    @Guinea54 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    could this damage the leather? Or dry it out? Do you recommend perhaps turning the jacket inside out when doing all this just to give a little extra protection for the leather? Also worried about wrinkles with lamb leather which is thinner than yours and not as robust.

    Hey Pauline, I have a 100% leather jacket. I need to shrink it to shorten the sleeves a bit. It's already fairly worn in and, being a guy, I like a little toughness to the leather anyway. Does the fabric softener help the leather to shrink or am I fine doing these steps without it? What's most important to me is that the jacket last and I'm assuming the tougher the leather is, the longer it'll last? Or does the softener HELP preserve the leather? Any insight is very appreciated. Thanks Pauline!

    • @paulinejustliving
      @paulinejustliving  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for stopping by👍🏻
      The fabric softener is to soften the leather , and it preserves the jacket..use it , do not wash without it! It will not change the tough side of the style!

      hey, i’m probably a little late but sadly no, drying it in the sun should be about the same as air drying. the reason it shrinks in the dryer is the heavy heat. unless you live somewhere with a hot climate, i doubt drying in the sun will do too much. i’m not a professional of any sort so i recommend also doing your own research, this is just my estimated guess. best of luck, hope that was at least a little helpful

    @MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Got a few questions!
    1. My washing machine doesn't have a "small cycle"; it has a "quick wash" cycle which defaults to about 36 minutes-is that too long? Would I be right to assume I should set spin to low or perhaps even none? Or would medium spin be fine?
    2. I'm really unfamiliar with using fabric softener; how much would you estimate I ought to use? Would one leather jacket be considered a "small load", as opposed to perhaps a fraction of a small load?
    3. Does the jacket shrink more if you dry it for longer? Or does the drying simply expedite the time it takes to shrink? And is there any risk to using too hot of a drying setting (e.g., high instead of medium)-even if not for the leather, then perhaps for the other materials (e.g., polyester)?
    4. Finally, I have a 36.5" chest and a 44" jacket. Do you think it would be able to shrink that much, or does this technique mainly apply to smaller shrinking goals? I wonder if this could be done multiple times to keep shrinking it (within reason, of course)?
    I know that's a lot of questions, but I would greatly, greatly appreciate your response! I just bought a rare, one-of-a-kind jacket that's too big for me and was planning to have it professionally altered (a very expensive, time-consuming process), but it would be wonderful if I could save time and money by using this technique instead. Thanks so much!
    Edit: I forgot to mention that my leather jacket has a tag that says _"Clean professionally by leather or suede expert."_ Does that mean I'm not supposed to put it in the washing machine? Or it's fine as long as I don't use detergent?

    • @paulinejustliving

      Quick cycle is fine.. just check from time to time to see how the jacket is.

    • @paulinejustliving
      @paulinejustliving  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, yes, you can wet only where you wish to shrink, do everything alike, cold water, fabric softener, small cycle , then dryer, but ONLY WET where you want to shrink!
      Let me know how it went!✌🏻👍🏻

    I have a vintage shearling jacket that I want to shrink. Would this work for shearling? Right now its probably equivalent to a size 40 and I want to shrink it to a more snug tailored fit (more like 38). Thank you =)

      Hi James!
      To be honest, I believe your jacket will not be the same after washing it. If you would like to give it a try..wash just a small part of the sleeves and if all goes well and nothing drastically happened, I would then go for it and wash like i did in my video..cold water..small cycle..FABRIC SOFTNER..then ..dryer to shrink!
      Any further questions feel free to ask, I will be happy to help! Let me know how it went.😊👍

      3. Spin for 5-10 Minutes cycle.
      4. Put inside the dryer for small cycle (5-10 Minutes) it will be a bit wet
      5. Dont wear/stretch it if you want to shrink.
      6. Sun dry/air dry is just the same thing. (Point 5 is more important). But if you want to stretch it just air dry it for more than a day.
