new gloves- any tips

[Quiff Wichard]

for softening up and stretching..

first ones I have had with the rock hard knuckle protection..

oo it hurts at first doesnt it..

NOW- my cousin who was a para - used to tell me they softened their boots up ina bucket of pee.!

but dont fancy that.. ..

in fact they are soft- just need a bit of stretch... I bought a smaller size than I used to have cos me old ones have strecthed to way too loose.. ..

so .. tip away !.




guessng tip will be wear em and wear em in

Wear them in the rain

really???

or not really?

Have a leather night in the bath....But don't tell anyone

Works a treat, soft as shammy

Serious, when ever i get anything leather wise, i wear it in the rain a couple of times, let it dry naturally and the soften up in no time.

I brought a pair of dainese leather jeans in mid summer and i was praying for rain

cool
!!!!!!


I shall look forward to getting wet..

i've got kangaroo leather gloves which seem a loft softer/stretchier from the start...maybe something to try next time?

Rub some leather feed into them, and wear them a lot, like around the house.

I will do all of that-

got a 2 hour drive as a passener in a van later- but dont think the driver would be happy of I got in wearing leather gloves.. covered in vaseline !

I bought a pair, fitted with the help of the shop owner. I couldnt even wear them at home, let alone on the bike, they left serious impressions of knuckle armour on my poor fingers, I gave up in the end.

I knew when I bought them they were uncomfortable, but went along with the advice given. I couldnt take them back because where I kept trying to stretch them I broke the stitching! d'oh!

Few weeks back I found an identical pair (size larger) in a second hand shop, barely used practically brand new, £10, and they fit perfect, no pain, no marks.

sorry this doesnt help at all
