Leather Softener

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!! ... if it doesn't then just wear it wet ... it WILL be more malleable

bikers of old used to to say....tie it to the back of your bike n drag it down the road.........or get yer mate to run over it( preferably without you wearing it)






oh sorry, you want softener not the used look....hehehehehehe

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)

Your link to Gliptone is a little off Dude

sends you to here http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/j...ry-Request.jsp

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

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