Update on the Delraiser — leather is softening up. I wear it everyday in the car to work and back. Also every chance I get at home lol.

Any other recommendations on what I can use to soften the leather / speed up the break in period? I actually used some of Vibergs shoe cream on it and it helped. Won’t use it again if you guys advise not to.

If you leather hounds had to choose one of the two jackets I posted above, the black leather trucker or shearling piece, which would recommend? I'm thinking both might be a bit much but not sure.

Double Rider, Cafe Racer, or Trucker?? Really torn between what style of leather to get.
