how tight should leathers be

i can just do the zip up, & they feel tight around the shoulders



& i will admit it they are PINK ............................ at least there not green! !

They certainly should not be that tight fella! HTH.

I'd be worried the zip doesn't catch on something...

Depends on how sweet your @*se is

ive just had a leather jacket and i was thinking this same question? my jacket is the right size and the arms are plenty long enuf but the body does seem abit tight now i'm not a fat git so ive just put it down to the fact that i'm used to textile jackets not leather.

well, they didnt look pink in the picture on ebay, honest

Leather does stretch so you should take this into account. I'd say 'close but not uncomfortably so' is a good start for new leathers.
After a short while they'll bed in stretch to fit so to speak.

But if they're second hand leathers - without seeing them or knowing how much wear they've already hand then it's difficult to say. They may have stretched as far as they're gonna go - but I doubt it if they're in a good enough condition to be selling on.
I'd wear them for a bit, maybe even just round the house for a couple of evenings with a fleece or something underneath. Give the stretching a bit of a head start.

Sit on the bike in a racing crouch. If the collar chokes you and you can't bend your legs enough to put them on the pegs then they're too tight.

My HG's fit lovely on the bike but have a baggy **** when walking around, price you pay s'pose.

.....and your point is, Mr H.

The purchasing of pink leathers is an act which, you have to admit, is a wide deviation from existing notions of "bloke masculinity". Indeed is suggest to me that he is more than secure with his sexuality. Therefore, I'm sure that if Hovis' form is fine, no matter the hue of the hide that covered it, he would graciously accept the odd leer or two from a mature and discerning red-blooded female.
