I wouldn't recommend chrome tanning for garments, it produces a blue-tinted leather and the leather can break down over time. I would recommend McKenzie Tan followed by a quality leather oil or the Liqui-tan and Liqui-soft combo. For garments, I recommend you work on thinning the leather as much as possible, oil well and spend time working the leather soft, a.k.a breaking the hide, while it dries. The more time spent working the hide as it dries the softer it will be. What are you tanning?

Never got into syn tans as it was my understanding they are more difficult to break in the hide, without having pressure tanners, drums, etc. Warrior in the garden
