Default RE: Working In a Glove

I usually soaka new glove in warm water for a few minutes, till it gets pretty saturated, and then wear it until it dries. That willhelp the leather form itself to your fingers. I've tried shooting with a glove while it's still damp to get it to conform to the crease in my fingertips, but that nearly always makes the tips take agroove. Not a good thing to have happen, so I quit doing that. Now I just shoot with a new glove as often as I can and let it work in naturally.

That kind of glove there, with the cordovan overlays over rather thick leather, is really nice and protective of the fingertips but it will probably take a lot longer to work in.

My favorite glove is the Damascus glove. It's really thin and notasprotective as the type of glove you've got, but it's already comfy, soft and pliable.It just gets better and better with use.
