    I was pleasantly surprised after treating myself to a set of BKS leathers last year (the proper ones, not the new FT-linked off-the-peg stuff) and they're the first leathers I've ever bought that needed no wearing in at all, the leather was thick and tough, but really supple - reflected in the price I suppose, but they are just sooo comfy 8-)
    My Zak Leathers race suit is also comfy, after feeling like a suit of armour when I first got it, and I did wear that round the house for a number of evenings... :

    Walk into your local pub and pick a fight with the biggest chap in there. Do this a few times and it will soon look used and abused.
    By the way if it's the Black Horse it will probably be me. ;D

    just wear it, wear it in the house, wear it in the car and wear it to the shops, you will have it worn in within a few days
