If you want the leathers to get that well-worn look, wear them to Sturgis and rid in on a Honda.

Hell,just enjoy the new leather smell. My jacket smells like a goats ***.I have to hang it in the garage to keep from stinking up th house. Even the dog sleeps on the other side of the garage to get away from it. Bugs run from it,little kids tear up at the smell,I never have to worry about the Ol' Lady wantin to go any where with me and a cop won't stand next to me long enough to give me a ticket if I promise to ride out of town and never come back.
Good Luck

just do what I did: find the highest hill in your town and roll down it all geared up. They'll have the worn look in about two or three trips.
two busted ribs, broken femur, dislocated shoulder and perforated spleen I was looking real cool.
reminds me of a thread I read on a gun forum asking "how can I make my rifle look used like those in Iraq?"

RE: Newbie Leathers
Been wearing my leather jacckt for a numbr of years and it'sperfectly broken in, although it is a bit warm for some evening rides.
Bought a new jacket that's a bit lighter as an addition to my older one.
Been wearing it almost every day to get the broken-in look, but it's sure taking some time.
