Greetings to the List,

Without betraying a trust or some proprietary information does anyone know the formula for pre softning a leather saddle. I know years ago people would rub them with proofhide and beat them with a leather mallet. That was before the Brooks Pros came along.

I'm talking about taking the leather off the frame and duplicating the Rebour or Brooks method. All off List responses will be kept confidential if need be.

Jim, I have no children to hold hostage, McCoin. Fremont ca.
