I bought a vintage leather jacket and it's nice and soft, but every time I move around in it, it makes a squeaky sound when the leather rubs together. Is there anything I can do?

I feel for you SPOILEDkiwi but I don't know if I can give you much help
I bought a squeaky leather jacket once and returned it because of the squeak
My only suggestion is to ring a leather worker - a shoemaker perhaps, or someone who makes leather clothes, or alters them, or a specialist drycleaner - and ask for their advice
Good luck

^^ Thanks. I tried a leather conditioner and the squeak went away immediately after, but the next morning I guess the jacket absorbed it and the squeak was back. It has a very grippy texture even though it's soft so I don't know if anything will ever change the texture. I tried applying a ton of conditioner under the arms where the leather rubs together the most, so I'll check back tomorrow and see if it still squeaks.
