Hey fellas..and ladies...was wondering if any of ya could answer a question. Will Pecard's loosen up a goat Expedition all that much. Will it significantly help break it in?

Everyone has there own opinion on this. The following is my experience and opinion.
I used the leather gel (cream or whatever they call it these days) on my wested goat that I recently sold. I think it didn't help at all. I have a G&B goat that I have never treated with anything. It's way more broken in and less stiff than my Wested. It took a long time to break in the wested, but I'm unsure if this was just the leather itself or if the leather dressing had anything to do with it.
I tried the leather lotion on my wested lamb that I recently sold. In my opinion it screwed it up for a while. Not only did it make my jacket smell so girly that I didn't want to even wear it. It took all of the wrinkles out of it!!! In other words, it took the character out of it. Plus, it started to squeak.
Anyway, my advice to you is that if you want to break in a jacket, don't treat it with anything. Just wear it a lot and treat it once it has been broken in.

Unless you're trying to maintain an older jacket's finish or just keep it new looking, I would avoid putting anything on it. It's just counter productive to getting that broken in look more quickly.

I'll third that opinion. I also own a G&B goat, and when new, it was softer and more piable than my Wested goat. I haven't treated it with anything, and it just keeps getting better with wear.
