If the leather hasn't been heavily oiled, just wet the wings a little and clamp it into position while it dries. If it has been oiled, you'll have to wet it considerably more.

But the leather seems to be stretching out around the rivets in fron so I don't want to pull it any more. Anybody have a method for getting the "wings" to assume a more vertical position?
