Shoot in it for about three years and you will see some improvement, more at the ten year mark.

Meh... I am glad I am losing weight I can go back to my leather one.

If you know someone that can wear a size 38, i have a Monard Ultimate that i would love to sell! I have no need for it anymore!

sleep in it for about a month...

Some type of solvent should soften it up considerably. Probably make it a custom fit.

Heard Balistol or neetsfoot oil works pretty good

Wear it to a biker bar. Get good and drunk. Pic the toughest looking chick in the place and tell her that she needs a real man instead of the pansy she's with. -- Problem solved. jd

I wonder what putting it in a clothes dryer with some clean tennis shoes would do? Try it when the wife is gone. Thunk,thunk,thunk.

Ride your motorcycle cross country in the heat of the summer. Jax,FL to Salem, OR and back. You will have great riding, memories, and a broken in jacket. Been there, done that.

It used to be common knowledge that one sleeps in a new jacket for a week. The old wisdom fades...

No wife. Not any more. Heck man I have a laundry bag I put in the washer with my shag bag full of my practice golf balls. Makes them like new again!!!

Send it to me, my wife can wash it, shrink it 3 sizes in the process, and be happy she could help you out.

My wife used to shrink all my pants and shirts!! It got worse as I got older!

Might try mink oil.

Never played with golf balls. What do they sound like in the dryer?

Isn't that what you want for off-hand shooting??! I did. Maybe Creedmoor will exchange it for a NON-hardback model? But, I never had any problem with their hardback jacket: New or used. It does loosen up and start to get like an old shoe after a period of time (that's when I bought a new one!). I say just wear it a lot...you do dry-fire off-hand frequently, don't you...and that should help break it in for you?

It is not the back that is the problem.
