What is the best way to break in a stiff leather ?

 

Tried a lot of stuff over the years, but Lexol has by far worked the best on 'stiff leathers'.

Treat it with Lexol and then wear the heck out of the jacket out in the elements. Like any new leather product it takes a while to 'break in' a new jacket, but it can be done sooner than you think.

 

I was thinking bout tying it to the back of my truck and drive around the block a few times LOL
I have herd of people washing them Not sure about the dryer

 

Just put it in the dryer on very low heat with a tennis shoe, it will soften it up.

Mink oil. Make sure to give the seams a an extra good rubbing.

 

The dirt/sand mixture on the side of the road works pretty good....

 

Wear it to Sturgis. Ride a Honda. Somebody there may help ya soften it up. LOL

2yld's mink oil advice is what I use also.

 

Over time it will soften by itself.there are a lot of good conditioners,you have to pick your own.

 

Have a good looking gal put your jacket on, then take out the mink oil and start applying and rubbing and stroking to all parts of the body er ah jacket.

 

wear it!
