Leather Jacket

[ReadySalted]

Hi there, I'm quite concious of posting threads in the wrong areas, as on most forums it always seems to be sacrilidge. So if this is in the wrong area, my apologies but I couldn't see an area to discuss clothing and eqpt.
Anyways, I bought a leather jacket from George Whites website (I have a textile one for practicality and weather, but always thought leather is so much cooler, and I wanted a jacket that matched trousers). It's the Lewis Gear Outcast jacket and trousers. but my concern is with the jacket. It's comfortable but seems very slightly short on the sleeves. The length on the torso is fine, and the chest is not constricting, but not loose at all. I've read that leather will stretch slightly with sweating and wearing, but is this just a myth? I'm happy with the jacket and will probably keep it anyhow, but I just want to know for sure.
Thanks, Dan.

yes leather will stretch abit thats why you should get a slightly tight one because after about a month of wearing it, it will stretch by about 5-10mm or something like that

Unfortunately, the sleeves will not grow, they will shrink as the leather gets creased. I was always told to buy a jacket with slightly too long sleeves as you will lose about 1/2 an inch as theyt crease.

Don't worry sir, you'll find they will ride down with wear........

Actually though, all my old leather jackets seem to have got shorter in the arms, I just thought I was eating too many bananas.

Dead Fly Juice tends to soften them up a bit. My Jacket is n ow as soft as a babies bum and an inch thick in dead bugs.
