Full seat breeches - any ideas how to soften the seat?

[Ludi-doodi]

I have a pair of Mark Todd Tauranga Full Seat Breeches - they've been lurking around in the bottom of the wardrobe for a looonnnng time waiting for me to drop enough weight to get them on! Success -I can now get them on, but the seat is really stiff and doesn't flex very well. I don't think they are proper suede - something like 'ultragrip seat' according to an advert I just looked up. Any ideas how to soften this so that I don't feel like I'm wearing a Storm Trooper outfit!!

Cheers

Step aerobics?

I have a pair of Caldene breeches with the full on rubber seat ready for when me and the boy try showing next year, not sure how much I'll be able move in them but with the level of stickyness I'm hoping I'll stay attached!

Wear it in by riding,riding and more riding.

rubbing in fabric softener, leaving it for a bit, then washing, is what i was told to try.

I have some Mark Todd breeches, not sure if they are the same ones you have, but i wash mine with lots of Comfort Concentrate.

Mine have got more comfy the more I've ridden in them, washed them etc. I won't wear anything else now - bit expensive to be mucking out in, but hey ho. I love my Derby House own brand ones, enjoy x
