what I did, is whack the heck out of it, whipping a wooden post with it. The straps would curl around the post, and really loosen it up.
Softened it up really well, and also adds some authentic wear! And then I just worked it back and forth around the buckle points.
And rubbed dirt into it too.

I'm reading "The Way of a Ship" by Derek Lundy. ( A squarerigger voyage in the last days of sail)
It's a really good read- full of documentary style descriptions of life aboard ship, of storms and the dangers of the sea, and a character based on his own grandfather, who helps to illustrate (in addition to other things) abilities and contributions of his Irish/Canadian ancestors.
Ripping tale!

Wow- great find Wes! I was just looking for some period maps of Newfoundland and Labrador- and- there they be! Super quality, too!

Well, as a Canadian , I have to throw my lot in with Peter Easton! Though not well known, he was likely THE most successful pirate. He is a folk hero in Newfoundland, and very famous in the Maritimes, though interestingly, not so much in the rest of Canada.
to whit:
from Wikipedia, because I am too lazy to write a whole biography, though I likelyy will later:
Peter Easton (c. 1570 – 1620 or after) was a pirate in the early 17th century who operated along the Newfoundland coastline between Harbour Grace and Ferryland from 1611 to 1614. Perhaps one of the most successful of all pirates he controlled such seapower that no sovereign or state could afford to ignore him and he was never overtaken or captured by any fleet commissioned to hunt him down.

Now, now, Gents. Simmer down there.
Tis a bit premature to be dissing Ian McShane's Blackbeard, especially the height. <snip rest of brilliant discourse on Blackbeard>

Why do I get the picture in my head of Blackbeard striding across the screen, pausing, looking directly at the camera and saying
-in best Warner Bros cartoons fashion-
"I've been sick"
