My best advice is to get a couple of these from Aero: https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=3938

If you REALLY want to protect your jackets, buy one and then put some pool noodle or pipe insulation around the shoulders of it like so:

The folks at Aero are of the opinion that it's best to have the shoulders of the hanger lie as flat as possible, otherwise it can create an odd wrinkle running down the front of the jacket (see their photos). I can't really confirm whether that's true or not, but I've tried to avoid having it happen, just because these are expensive jackets.

As for the noodles, I recommend anything that's around 6 cm in diameter and hollow. These might work:

I buy good quality wooden hangers from Amazon, tape two together and then cover in bubble wrap…

I’ve been storing my B-3 flat. The ideas here might be put to use!

When I picked up my Irvin from Aero in December, they recommended laying flat and not on a hanger at all.

ok, useful to know, I suppose lighter jackets like A2 for example would be ok on a hanger as suggested in the threads above, thanks to you all

I will do, the noodles will take a couple of weeks, I did not check the delivery time on Amazon, still very pleased with the advice, all the best
