Has anyone ever shrunk one of the surplus leather police jackets
Hello I’ve been reading through all these posts comparing The sizes of you all since some of you have been posting your height and weight trying to find somebody close to my height and weight see what size jacket they ordered I really think I needed a medium I am 5‘10“ 150 pounds could not find a medium I waited for a month I couldn’t find nothing but large so I finally bought the large I have Watch videos on YouTube of people shrinking leather jackets I’m not sure about that though and I’m afraid if I take it to a Taylor if I don’t find a good one they’ll screw it up, Oh I know all the posts on here about a year old I hope someone reads this ,Any help and/or advice would be appreciated

I don’t think you’ll be able to satisfactorily shrink leather like that.

Is it long all around? Or mainly in the arms?

I’d expect your best bet is finding someone who can alter it. That will probably cost many times more than the coat cost, unfortunately.

I hope someone else has some better advice.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.
