bedding in leathers

[gav1]

i've bought a 2-piece new suit off Ebay (went to his house to try them on when i was in Melb) and all is going goodly so far apart from one day my testicles would actually like to meet each other when i wear them!!!

so just wondering if anyone has any hints and tips on bedding in a new set of leathers - i've been wearing them inside the house (lol got 'em on now) to help stretch (getting better), but any extra advice would be apreciated!! (especially from "the boys" lol)

seem to remember hearing having a shower and leaving them on for a bit helps too.......

that says to me the leathers might just be a bit short...cutting you up like that

thats what i did with mine
watched the Teev, ate pizza, drank beer, watched the Teev
in my leathers
and then practised getting out of them..to have a leak

NO and NO
getting em really wet means....
the dye might run
you weaken where the stitching is
you weaken the zips' backing fabric

and as for getting out of sodden leathers
its a PITA....
oh
and they will take at least a week to dry
(DO NOT use heat to speed drying process)


hth

cheers

hehehe they aren't really that tight, but still relatively restricting...thanks for the re: shower tip - thats what i was thinking, but when i was in reserves we had to wear out leather GP boots in a bucket of water for 2 hours and then walk 6 kms to mould and bed them in - so the idea was partially feasible

Gav, sounds to me like your new leathers are a size too small. They will give a little, but even when new they shouldn't be as constrictive as you make them sound.

If they are a little tight in spots, take them to Walden Miller and get them to put some stretch panels in for you. The altercations wont cost much and should make things a lot more enjoyable for you.

Oh, and you certainly wont get them to "bed in" overnight!

thats a bit different tho, the ol gp's are made to get wet, that why you use 4 tonnes of polish on them.

That's what happens when you reply to messages at 6 in the morning after walking in the door from a night of night shift.

Only 6? The drive home is always interesting.
