  • Do Leathers shrink over the Winter

    My FXRG set of fine leathers have obviously shrunk over the long cold Winter as I tried them on today for an up and coming trip and I'll be damned they are snug....Had no idea leather shrinks!!!!!

    :aahhh " I am not even a big Drinker " !!!!

      This sucks I went for a spin yesterday for two hours and thought I was getting dizzy from the sun and it turned out to be a circulation problem from tight leathers....Any one know about Jenny Craig.. "Just Shoot Me"....I hate diets...

          Thanks Tidda...The trouble is I am 40 years older than that specimen...I was thinking more of exercising with the oldies and then off to play some lawn bowling....LOL!

          I will make an effort to shed a few kilos just because I will not blow another 2K on leathers. Last time I got ripped I was smoking some BC Bud never mind working out....That was 20 years ago.

          My biggest downfall is bread and cheese....

                Kinda reminds me of one of the things you don't say to your wife............a couple years back, while doing the woman thing with swapping the summer wear for the winter clothes she said "I think my clothes shrink in the closet".........................I replied "Try hanging your ass in there for a couple weeks".................I didn't see my wife for three days, on the fourth day the swelling went down enough too see from my left eye.

                  I'm pretty sure by the pics of me on this forum I do indeed spend a little too much time at the feed bag.

                        Everyone knows how dry it gets in the winter if your leathers were hanging in a room close to the furnace it could be even worse it has to be drawing all the moisture out. So if you were to rub some conditioner into them for 30 minutes a day 3 day a week I'm sure you would see results within the first 90 days or your money back

                                I can confirm that the "leather shrinkage" does indeed take place during the winter months. I can also confirm the effectiveness of the vodka and cranberry diet.....LOL !!

                                    Drink more water, and up your fiber intake, you'd be surprised how full of shit most of us are...and you'll even lose a few inches too....Holiday food, tends to stick with us.
                                    It's not "derailed", as long as the last post relates to the post above it...it's just on a different rail, heading into a more interesting direction

                                        Well Thanks a bunch HERD....It is apparent I will need a lifestyle change as I cruise into my senior years. My metabolic rate for burning "Fat" has quit on me. Honestly, I do a lot of walking!!! Hats of to Dixie for controlling the problem... Bye the way Glyde...."I will not be reviewing your application for my personal Trainer position"...LOL!!!
