Hi all,
I am cleaning up my welding rig, fabricating more storage space, moving things around to make it easier to get at things, etc. I have a leather jacket and leather sleeve and apron that have become very stiff over the years of hanging on a hook on my truck. I rarely used the leathers unless I am in a situation where sparks, slag, etc. will rain down on me. For the most part I get by with good old flame resistant jackets both green and black.
I there anything that can be done to soften the leather up. I imagine it is stiff from being dried out especially here in the Arizona heat. I also have some leather gloves with the same problem. I hate to just throw them out. Do I have to get rid of them? Any ideas, thoughts?
Thanks,
Tony
