Treat the collar with a leather conditioner or oil to restore lost moisture and keep the jacket supple.
If it's greasy, before I tried anything with water, I'd try rubbing cornstarch into the collar and letting it sit overnight. Repeat if necessary. If you still need to wet it, I'd try rubbing in only the foam from something like saddle soap and follow it with a rub-in of corn starch. Let it dry thoroughly for several hours, then brush off with a soft brush or cloth. I used to design costumes for ballet and theater, and corn starch can work miracles without any harm! Hope this helps.
Once, my son, who managed a bookstore, came to me with a white fake fur "Pat The Bunny" costume in horrible shape. He didn't want little ones near it because it was so gross. Some foam from dishwashing liquid, a lot of corn starch to dry in, a lot of vacuuming and brushing, but it was clean and good as new. Yes, I billed the company and got paid!
