Wet, wet, wet. When the leather gets creased, it will become more flexible. The fastest was to get creases in it is to wear it soaking wet. Tons of conditioner on it, let it dry, soak it down and wear it wet. When it dries, condition it again and then soak it again. The more you do this, the softer it will get. Same with leather boots.

Just think Thump, on that new MV you'll be able to slide into full leathers with all the trimings, jump into your jacuzzi and then just let that thing shrink around you

I found a yard sale leather put it in the mashing michine. It clean up great and it got some what softer. It come out with a great smell and mink oil it and the smell is still over powering the mink oil.
