Help - Leather trousers leg is too short

Blunet600 · Nearly there... Joined: 03 Dec 2005 Karma :

I bought some padded leather trousers/jeans for the bike and stupid me tried them on thought the short leg fitted well (not properly accounting for my riding position) and now find when im riding with them on they end just below the top of my boot (luckily the boot is just long enough) so i thought i will try and find the people i bought them from and see if i can exchange for the long leg, but i cant remember the name and cant seem to find a website or number for the business who make the trousers (the business is called xtrm). So my question is this if any body else has had the same problem and without going out and buying some new ones, how or is there any way of strectching or doing something to either make the trousers longer or prevent them rising above my boot?
Cheers.

If they have a zip there (likely) it will be more difficult but still something you could get done under £50 .

Since it won't normally be 'on show' you might get away without extending the zip which makes it almost a DIY possibility.

Elastic under your foot to pull them back down.

Buy a bike with a less sporty riding position.

I did almost exactly the same thing. I bought a pair of gators from a hilking shop that come up to my knee. Works excellently so far, including an 5 hour run in torrential rain at the start of the month...

You can't remember the place you bought them from? Neutral

As in you walked into a shop, tried something on, bought them and walked out? Neutral

Do you remember your date of birth?
