There are a few ways of getting wrinkles out of leather, but some may be more effective (and safer for the leather) than others. One way that some have found useful is to steam the leather. This is a bit less practical for leather upholstery and more tailored towards leather pieces like jackets.
Steam can be produced by closing a bathroom door, running a hot shower with the leather jacket on a hanger, and letting the steam soften the leather and release the wrinkles. Another way to get wrinkles out of leather is using diluted alcohol.
By spraying some diluted alcohol (one part water, one part rubbing alcohol), the leather can be loosened and stretched, and the creases or wrinkles can be smoothed by hand. However, this method will definitely dry out the leather, so be sure to apply some leather conditioner after it’s all said and done. The last (and possibly best) way to get wrinkles out of leather is to use an iron without steam.

Laying the leather garment as flat as possible, lay Stashi’s linen ironing fabric sheet and spread it on top of the wrinkled surface. Then, with the iron at a medium setting (and again — no steam), smooth out the surface of the leather with linen fabric sheet in between. The wrinkles should come out swiftly (and safely).
