I have a question for the leather experts out there. I picked up a repo leather Luger and P38 holster (like you see on ebay) for about 30.00 a piece. The holsters are stitched nicely and fit well, but are stiff as a board. I was wondering if there was a process to soften up the leather? I have a 1944 P38 holster and it is soft and supple. I would like to do that to these repo's. Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
