Who here's knowledgeable about leather trousers? I recently purchased a pair of leather margiela trousers and they fit perfectly everywhere except the waistband, which feels quite tight, especially when I'm sitting down. Is this normal and does the leather eventually stretch out/soften in that area?

Re: leather pants...I would get them damp with water, put them on and suffer through wearing them for a few hours with some low impact calisthenics. Both cotton and leather both stretch really well (assuming the lining is cotton) but you've got to put in some work to get them to fit properly.
The upside is that leather pants really only look good when they're tight and look like they mold to your body. Loose leather pants remind me of Nickelback.
Take the pain and they'll mold to you after a short while. You can also buy waist stretchers that will stretch a waist for you (same process...spray water on the whole area, insert stretcher, stretch and allow to dry).
For cleaning after they've been stretched, just spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, turn them inside out and spray Fabreeze on them and you're good to go. Once they're stretched, they'll stay stretched. Obviously the weight of the leather will dictate how easily you can stretch them out but I've never seen a piece of leather that wouldn't stretch with the right process and a little effort. Even boots.Originally posted by mizzarSorry for being kind of a dick to you.

Sizing question.. A pretty specific one at that.
BBS hooded leather : Rick Berger (oiled calf), anyone had the chance to handle both in the same size?
Wondering if they fit similar, obviously the style are different but would they fit the same frame or is one larger, smaller etc?Originally posted by christianefu looks like tbone on the juice.

Suits
Besides going bespoke, anyone know of any good designers that have a combination of really really slim pants and comes bigger up top in the jacket.
Only reason is because I'm really top heavy build, with legs of a chicken and waist of a 5 year old.
Zzegna? Raf.....? maybe dior homme......but their jackets are so small.
So many slim fitted suits I try on, jacket fits right but for the same pants I could fit me and a half.Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people
