Got my new Occi leather belt set and man are they stiff. I’d like to have them destessed and wearing comfortable by tommorrow morning. How do I do it? Piffins meantioned neatsfoot oil before, is that the best or does someone else have a secret?

Get your woman to chew the leather! Actually, neetsfoot oil is good--used it on my baseball glove back in little league days. Maybe oil the leather and work it--like pulling it down across a work bench edge.
LOL... really funny!

I bought a set of leathers in '87 and thought I'ld experiment with this new spray lube called Tri-Flow. Saturated them new bags and the next day they were soooo supple.
I used them in the desert heat and pouring rain. They've been soaked and dried many times. On some commercial jobs I would load the nail pouches completely full, about 8lbs, four or five times a day for months at a time.
I resoak them every year or so.
I'm still using them now and they are finally getting to the point of needing restitching and a new belt flap.
Now I prep all my leather goods with Tri-Flow.
Let me know how the Occi's work out, If I can find a set comparable to mine, I might hang these in my mo'-see-'em.

Just MO, but wear em stiff, let em break into your bod, If your working with them everyday...it'll happen in no time at all! ( the break-in) Bags will probably last longer to boot! My 2 cents.
