Whats the best way to break in new leathers aside from wearing them all the time (work too much) ??

Leather conditioner ??

Any advice ?

The reason I asked is that I am buying leathers soon. I tried on a jacket today, and DAMN it's stiff. Feels funky apposed to riding in a sweatshirt all the time

wear it around the house for one day, well as much as you can. i just sat and watched tv, took out the trash, walked outside, did stretches, just anything to get the wear in. which just consists of the fibers being stretched and folded alot. you may look stupid but it works, i had my full padded jacket broke in good in one day by fully zipping it up and doing arm stretches back and forth and, sitting down and reading a book. took like 3 or 4 hours but they were deffinately ridable after that.
