Use Lexol leather conditioner inside and out. It appears it is just starting to form to your back. It will continue to get better the more you use it. It does take time. Neetsfoot oil would probably speed up the process but you may end up with a quiver too soft. I have a Steve Catts Hill style quiver that was quite stiff when it was new but has formed perfectly through use and Lexol conditioning. I would at least give this a try before springing for a new quiver. Lexol is usually found where there is horse tack or saddlery farm or ranch supply stores.

flyfish1, the best way to adjust the strap on the quiver is to use a strong clamp at the top to experiment with different positions and angles.

Beautiful quivers Lee & John. I also have the heavier leather just now softening up. I wear it all the time & wouldn't use anything else. I did add a wool collar to the top. It is now conforming to my back & very quiet.
