Where'd they go?

The wrinkles in the leather on my door skins are mostly gone. The leather is in good condition and soft and I've conditioned them twice now. The wrinkles are almost all gone though. I see some cars with very wrinkley door panels. Just wondering if they go away with age or is my leather dry or what? Feels very soft to the touch, very flexible not all dried out or anything. Anyone else the same way?

It's probably shrinking a little bit. Does it sit outside?

I've owned it for about a year now and always garage it. Even at work I'm in an underground garage. It may have sat outside some with a previous owner. I don't see the typical leaves and junk in the cowl or other areas that you'd find on a car that sat outside though. Overall it is very clean, rarely even see's rain with me. The old owners may not have heard of leather conditioner perhaps? I'm gonna do a few more rounds and see if it loosens up some. I was using meguires leather care and just picked up some of this chemical guys cleaner and separate conditioner.

I'm gonna hit it with conditioner again tomorrow and I'll snap some pics.

I actually don't really like the wrinkles much at all. Just wondering if its drying out or something.

Mine are gone. Even Leatherqiue does not bring them back. But they are nice and soft. Once I finish the interior in the Z, the E is next.
