Can I get used Danese leather jacket to shrink back down?

Hi

I bought a used dainese jacket in a size that fits me great, new in store, but a bit baggy because of being worn by previous owner. Any way I can get it to shrink down close to Original size so it fits me more snug wo causing too much damage?

Take it swimming.

Yea actually i was thinking of machine washing and drying it. Then conditioning it w some conditioner or oil.

 You will ruin it if you machine wash it. Wetting leather is an old trick to break in cheap leather boots. As you found out, leather usually stretches a little for a perfect fit for the wearer. Does the jacket have back armor in it? Along with chest armor, this could use up that extra space.

Sell it and buy something that fits. Before you ruin it.

Agreed...
