    New to the board and looking for a little advice on a highwayman order

    How do I "break in" heavy horsehide?

    What works for me is just wearing it as much as possible everywhere all the time. Wear it as much as possible from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed and if you want you could even wear it in bed! Can you get away with wearing it at work, if you can wear it everyday at work...
