Subject: [CR]soaking a leather saddle

I read somewhere (maybe on this list) about taking a dried out misshaped leather (Brooks type) saddle, wrapping and soaking in a bucket of water to re-shape. Can anybody give me a step by step on the process? I found a nice old saddle today that's not in bad shape but has flattened out across the top. I would like to try and save it if possible.

Thanks, Jon Williams
