    << Leathers Stretching >>

    Last two seats of leather pants purchased have started out tighter than a snappers arse and ended up after a short period of time baggy as all hell!
    It pisses me off.
    Pre-stretched..can you get them?...qauntities of cash stop this?

    My last two sets of leathers have had the opposite problem in that they appear to have shrunk.

    So who here has purchased topline product?...does it still stretch, is it pre-stretched?

    You can get leather care products but for the most i think you have to buy a really tight suit to begin with then wait for it to loosen up.
    Tried that parmolive stuff....lady on tv stuck her hands in it

    Go and see Keri at MSW in St Kevins Arcade she is fantastic at customiseing leathers she will prolly charge about $40 to adjust your leathers for you she can also fit bracers to stop them from falling down

    Last set I had where adjusted 3 times, so I sold them when they started to get sloppy again
    Next Set.
    Just as bad, adjusted once and need it again!
    I figure I'm buying Shite or everyone has the same problem.

    What brand of gear you got man?
    Can't say I've got any experience with leather pants but my one piece suit hasn't shrunk or stretched much at all. It's not the most expensive brand either.
