This! Believe it or not. To break in my English riding boots, I fill them with water, dump them out and then wear them until they are dry. Then condition regularly to keep the black finish from cracking. I doubt a leather jacket's finish would crack, like show boots because the leather is tanned differently and thicker than the thin leather finish on riding boots.

 

Thanks for the tips all! We bought a 2013 Road King Classic late last year and I'm enjoying being a passenger. Only thing I can bitch about is that I don't get to ride it enough, and finding the right jacket is a pain in the ***. I had a couple and finally settled on one that appeared to fit well. But the collar doesn't fold down so after an hour or so it gets annoying poking on my neck. And the leather is so stiff on the sleeves that I can barely lift my arms up to my helmet for more than a couple seconds.

My husband introduced me to this forum and this is my first post. Apparently I posted in the wrong section, but I'm new so thanks for going easy on me!
