I just picked up a TT Gunworks leather holster for my 1911, and man is it ever tight!
I have been working to break it in for about 4-5 days by wearing it around the house all day (it is a combo IWB that converts to an OWB model).
When I first got it, I could not even easily get the fun to fit all the way in to protect the trigger, so I guess it is getting better, but when I go to draw it, it is almost impossible to get out of the holster without giving myself the mother of all wedgies and my pants end up all the way to my chest!
The instructions that came with the holster said not to use any treatments on the holster, but just take your time, and it will eventually break in. I am sure this is true, but it is a catch-22 in that I need to wear it to break it in, but I don't really trust it out-and-about since if I need it, I will never be able to draw it out in time to be safe/useful.
Any other suggestions? For now, I am just wearing it around the house during the day when I am home, and then switching to my standard Kydex IWB holster when I go out.
