| |  Does Leather Shrink Over Winter?
Am I the only one, or does anyone else find their leathers shrink over the winter when not being used?
It seems every year when I put away my riding leathers they seem to fit just fiine. Then in the spring when I try them on they seem tighter.
Any suggestions? |

Well..., isn't the reason too many cakes, good food, and good life going in under the skin and increasing ones measures a bit?
So foul play to blame the leathers... they are innocent..

Not that I am in any position, as I;m not, believe me, to cast stones, nor nefarious aspersions …but could it be, dare one ask?  |

When someone asks you, "Would you like to super size that sir?", just say no! |

At the risk of pissin' some people with shrinking leather off, my leathers always fit just fine every year. Been a buck-sevety since highschool and still going strong. |

I have no problem with my leathers in the winter. I use the winter hole on my belt. One down from the summer hole. However they can stiffin up from the dry air. Put a little conditioner on em. | | |
