Default First Leathers...

I've purchased some second hand Spidi leathers (2 piece) off eBay which are in brilliant condition and I'm told they've only been worn 3 or 4 times - which I believe as they are spotless.

Just one question though, how tight are the trousers really meant to be? These are pretty much skin tight on the thighs and **** at the minute...not so much that they are restrictive, but noticeably more tight than I was expecting. Are leathers likely to stretch at all, or should I invest in getting them altered? (Or lose some leg fat...)

Cheers

PS. If anyone knows anyone in the South (Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire preferabley) who can alter leathers to a good standard it would be very much appreciated!

i believe leathers are supposed to hold all your organs in place.
also your knee sliders should stay obviously where they are. never bothered me that though.

according to my bike instructor, if your stretch panels dont stretch, they're not tight enough
apparently
