Get it nice and wet ... then wear it, this will help mould it to your erm ... er ... 'curves' ... if it fits properly it'll seem more malleable!! 8) ... if it doesn't then just wear it wet ... it WILL be more malleable :D

lol both of you.... handy tips and i`ll erm bear them in mind!!

Re: Leather Softener
 

Renapur, Mars Oil, Gliptone are all good.

I was told not to use pure neatsfoot oil on clothing leather as it makes it too soft and it gets all out of shape. Don't use saddle soap on clothing either, it's fine for saddles though!

(Edit - new linky, old one was duff! Cheers Badger)

A very handy link nonetheless and now saved in my favourites for future reference :D

Have just ordered some Renapur online. Will treat the leather and then see how it feels. Thanks everyone for your help
