    My Leathers Shrunk over the Winter

    Tried on the riding gear last night. Must have shrunk while they were in the closet, strangest thing... Anyone else have this happen?

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    My Leathers Shrunk over the Winter

    I'm afraid to try mine. My waist line seems to have mysteriously grown during my winter laziness.....
    Time to get back into my regular ab workout routine again.

    I think the shrinkage has something to do with the dry air. Kind of like wood flooring. Maybe when the humidity goes up the leather will expand....

    You gained weight.

    I'd be surprised if leather shrunk.
    not saying it couldn't happen but the car seat and my couch still fit the same. LOL

    i got ya beat but you wouldn't notice cause I'm still too fat
    On a strange note - don't lose too much in a short period of time cause they are thinking that is part of what's wrong with me

    My Leathers Shrunk over the Winter

    I'm debating on whether to try mine on yet. I went the other way and LOST almost 25 lbs. this winter, which is a first. I usually GAIN about 10 lbs. over the winter and fail to take it off...
