Hi everybody
I hope you are well,
I recently bought myself a shearling jacket (see pictures attached) from the brand 'Chevignon' on Vinted. It had apparently never been worn but is still a few years old. I can say I am quite happy with the fit of it and the overall quality of the hardware, leather, stitching etc...
However, this is my first shearling jacket and I am quite thrown off by the "lack of" softness of the wool inside, is that to be expected? The wool seems to be cut quite short (which helps with the fit because the jacket is not super thick) but maybe that plays into the rougher touch of it.
Any thoughts on what I could do to make it softer? Or should I?
Similarly, any ideas on what I could do to give the leather outer a little boost of shine and protection? I was tempted to use my Saphir "Crème Universelle" and/or my Canadien Saphir "Total Care" for smooth leather, any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your help,
John
