Hey Demetrios, Sorry to hear the Sailcloth band is a bit too stiff for you. Because our Sailcloth band is padded, it does require a short break in period, but should loosen up and become more pliable after 2-3 days. That being said, we encourage you to shoot us an email at customerservice@bartonwatchbands.com as all of our products and purchases carry a 100% satisfaction guarantee and we're happy to help make things right.
