New leathers breaking them in
Just a quickie. I have purchased some new leathers and leather boots and as expected they are quite stiff. Apart from wearing them for large distances to break them in I am wondering if there are any tricks to accelerating the process of loosening them up a bit.
I have found the following on the web, if you have personal experience of doing these or anything else to break them in please let me know what you would recommend.
1. soak leathers in warm water and go for a long ride to dry them to your body (guess using leather conditioner after would probably be a good idea)
2. put in tumble dryer with no heat and a couple of shoes
3. wear them to bed (not sure how well I will sleep in them though)
Any other ideas.
