My choco Ant doesn't creak and never has. My black Ant creaks where the leather wraps around the D-rings and attaches to the strap. I'm assuming the creaking will stop when the leather softens a bit? I know bluecats damson Antony creaks too!
Anyone else with this embarassing problem?!!!
 
Yes, my choc Antony creaks but my black one doesn't. I think this is because the choc one is in NVT but the black is in tumbled leather. The tumbled leather is much smooshier so it moves easily around the D rings. I haven't used my choc one enough yet to get the creaking to stop!
 
My Oak anthony is creaky but not my choc or black one.
The leather on the oak one is very stiff as i haven't used it really whereas my choc and black ones have been used a lot and are very supple and soft.
 
My black one didn't (it just came apart at the seams) but my friend's choc one did really badly.
It does seem to happen on the stiffer leathers where they meet the D rings.
 
I bent over to help my littlun put on his shoes today whilst wearing black Ant and he said 'Mummy what's that burping noise?' It wasn't me honest it was the creak of the black Ant!!!!
 
I'vbe got stiff, swollen joints this morning, complete with a rash and a swollen face! Apart from looking glorious as you can probably imagine I feel rough. However, when I can move my hands again properly I might just sit and wiggle the leather to try to soften it and stop the creak.
