You can retore its flexibility, but whether or not you can get it fully back to original size is an open question. Probably the best you can do it restore its flexibility, and then wear it, so that it will shape itself to you. I had to do this with a jacket that a dry cleaner virtually killed. It came back not only shrunken, but almost as crisp as cardboard, and it was unwearable.

Lime Green and Pink Sport bike...?


Since your jacket has already shrunk a lot, a second application seems inevitable, as you need to bring the jacket back to life. There will be a quick initial absorption, but the tiny internal fibers will take time to fully absorb the new life they are getting, and only after that will they stretch.

There will be a very noticeable improvement in flexibility on the first day, but the fibres will have just begun to expand, and it will definitely take longer for the oil to do all its work. Again, be patient.
