Default Re: Leathers

Two things:

1 - All leathers stretch a bit, off the peg stuff even more so, if it's a bit loose now when it's new it will be plenty more so soon enough.

2 - Bear in mind leathers are intended for bike use, ie a sitting position, even with stretch panels they aren't meant for walking around in and will fit less well in this use. That said quality kit that fits well shouldn't be too baggy and out of shape when standing.
