    Easiest way - IF....you want to soften it up and it is able to soften up....is to sleep in it for a few nights. Should do the job.

    Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. I suspect it does have an interface and based on the replies the stiffness is perfectly normal. Riverkilt - it's been a while since I regularly slept in my clothes, but I like your idea.

    It'll soften up the more you wear it. Otherwise, I would leave it be and wouldn't worry about it too much, mate.

    Cheers,

    Frankly, with all due respect to our good friend Ron, I'd be leery about sleeping in it lest it soften up in some spots more then others and you end up with more permanent creases.

    Wear it while you work around the home and it will soften up a little more normally.
