New leathers are snug... Should I?


I followed the fitment scales that New Enough had on their site and I thought it was right on seeing the suit I already have is the same size and fits perfectly.

The new pants fit perfect, but the jacket is real snug. Will the leather break in and loosen up or should I think about the next size up? I am afraid the next size up will be too loose.

Other option is to loose that 10+ pounds I managed to find, but there is no way to say for sure If I can drop the wieght? Or how soon I could loose it?

its to bad some one didn'y warn you that the a* gear runs small

but if you want to loose 10lbs in about 1-3 weeks use a product called clean start. you can buy it at a health food store like living earth. it will get all the bad junk stuck in your colon out but i guaranty you will loose 10lbs by the time your done

If it were snug pants or even snug gut I'd lose the weight. If it's snug chest or shoulders you better exchange the jacket. Especially if there's no room for a back protector. *my 2 cents*

Leather will definitely stretch but you have to do your part to speed up the process. Wear it often and keep it warm while doing so. Make sure to move around alot so the leather is stretched to your range of movement.

I agree with Cheese about the chest and shoulders. If it's too small up top, I would exchange it.

On a related note, I really like those leathers I bought from you, and I have room to get even fatter.

Sorry Mike you fatty now. Just kidding! Leather does stretch so if it's not cutting off your air supply you should be ok.
