I bought a leather stretcher about a year and a half ago. I'd wear it occasionally (although it was a little bit tight at first) but now I'm able to wear it comfortably every night whilst I'm asleep, then stretch by hand in the morning for about 15 minutes using skin cream. It's only since doing this that I've noticed an improved hang, plus I need to move up a size stretcher (from 2" to 3") as there seems to be enough space now!
