My Shielded Holster has very stiff leather, and over time has not become softer.
Contrasting that to my Crossbreed and CompTac holsters, those were stiff at the beginning, but softer / more flexible than my Shielded is now, over a year later.

Kholster http://www.kholster.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; starts out soft and comfortable, Rob Durham's "comfort carry" http://www.concealedtechnology.com/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with a backing of horse hide and then a second layer of cow leather starts out stiff and stays stiff a long time... takes a while to get it broken in.
Stiff/tight grain/horse hide prevents sweat through better than softer cow leather; it's a trade off
I rarely wear hybrid holsters any more. (Got too sweaty hot one Summer and switched to single J-clip Tuck This 2 fabric holster, but I've never soaked through my Glocks, you either like them or not-I bought extras a couple years ago and may buy a case in case they stop making them)
