Is there any recommended or suggested cleaner/treatment for the leather?

Cheers.

This is Tony with White Hat Holsters. I am sure Sam will be responding to your email today but I wanted to chime in here as well. for the initial break in period, we recommend that you do nothing for the first 2 weeks and allow the leather to naturally break in. Within a few days you will see it start to conform to your body and become more comfortable. The heat from your body will break it down and soften it up a bit. After that, I do recommend saddle soap as suggested here for a minor conditioning initially and then Mink oil or Neatsfoot oil. Here is a video link that will show you how to do this with our cleaning and conditioning kit but you can find this stuff at just about any leather store as well.

For the creaking, that should clear up in the next couple weeks as well. If it is still noticeable, a little saddle soap on the leather behind the clips will help.

Finally, I saw someone else suggest bending the flanges to help it conform to your curves better. We see this mostly with thin folks that wear right on the hip at 3:00 or 9:00 for lefties. What you will want to do, is place your gun in the holster (VERY IMPORTANT) and lay a moist paper towel or dish towel over the kydex leaving the sight rail and flange exposed. Heat it slowly with a hairdryer or heat gun (only on the slide side of the kydex) for about 10 seconds, then try to bend it down slowly. IF YOU NOTICE IT BECOMING SHINY OR SMOOTH... STOP. It is going to melt at that point. If it is too stiff, heat again for 10 seconds, and try bending it a little further...repeat as necessary. Take it slowly and please put the towel or paper towel over the top so as not to distort the mold at all. If you care to send it to me I would be happy to do it for you.

If I can help in any other way please let me know. Have a great day and thanks for your support!
