Thanked: 3164Latigo (the soft variety - there is a very hard, stiff one) doesn't really need any breaking in.
If it is the soft variety it has an abundance of oil and is - in my opinion - best used with powder rather than paste. Paste can ball-up on the surface of it.
Latigo is an excellent stropping leather - seems a pity to use dressing on it, especially as its brand new. I'd rather get a cheaper natural vegetable tanned cowhide and paste that instead - just my opinion, though!
Regards,
Neil
