Help smoothing a crease in leather

[VitaminH]

Hello

I've recently purchased a leather coat for myself as my old heavy jacket was about worn out. My parents came along to help out. At the store I found a jacket I liked, but there was a funny crease in the collar, like in shipping it had been smooshed so the collar on one side looks a little funny. It's hard to explain without pics, and I am without a digital camera to take them. Anyway both my parents thought the crease would probably smooth out after a day or so under some books. I've had it sitting flat under several very heavy books all day and I see little to no improvment. I know leather shouldn't be ironed, and I I've tried to stretch the leather a bit to smooth it out all to no avil. Does anyone have any tricks or tips on how to smooth this out. I can live with it, since it doesn't make the collar stick straight out, but I'd like to fix it if possible.

Have you tried "Saddle Soap" its for cleaning leather, but I'm sure it would help moisturize it as well, which would help take the crease out. But go to a leather store in your local mall and ask.

Hanging it up in the closet with nothing pressing on it seems to have helped it return slightly too. the one side still looks a little funny but it's better. I will have to go get some saddle soap and try it out. Thanks
