Just a clarification for rare reader not in the know: the "anti-plumber's crack butt loop" is to loop around your belt. If/when you come off the bike and start sliding down the pavement, it prevents the jacket from riding up and exposing your back. Teknic has those loops in their jackets, too.

Some leather-conditioner would probably soften that Primer jacket right up. You can even apply it whilst watching a MotoGP or Superbike race.
Some might squawk and b!tch and moan like "aaagh! don't use mink oil" or "aaagh! don't use neatsfoot oil" or something. Pooh! I've been using both of them for years - if it's real leather, actually designed to be worn, used and abused; it won't hurt it a bit.
I've a Kobe jacket that's gone 5 years and about 65k-miles using Kiwi brand leather-conditioner, and mink-oil (about once a year). I've only started "retiring" it this year (and that's semi-retirement).
Now that "fashion leather" crap will probably fall-apart or rot if you use this stuff on it.
