Help with softening suede

[BigHairyFinn]

I've been rummaging my attic and storage and flogging off stuff I don't wear and then deciding if I have any keepers. So I have this suede sports coat, grey like "Junior" in "Miami Blues" but I can't go molesting the missionaries nor sweettalking girls who want a BurgerKing franchise as its like sheet metal and literally snaps, crackles and pops. I remember when I bought it it was already stiff, I wear it occasionally in the summer for business and I'd thought maybe it'd loosen up with age but no dice. Its like wearing cardboard especially after being in a cold storage. Is there something to spray on that wouldn't discolor it? Or should I just abuse it and hope it won't fall into pieces (had a cheap suede jacket as a teen that did that). I was thinking maybe something like the shoe stretch sprays might do the trick, but with suede I am at a total loss.[huh]

Try giving it a good dose of steam and then wearing it(?)
