I got some leathers (1pc - Size 42) that need to be loosened up in the crotch area. 44's are a little loose. The ones I have now would fit perfect if I had a little more room for my buddy and his 2 friends.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if it is, where would be a place to get it done?

Thanks in advance.

Just FWIW, if you can get the leathers on and still move around in them on the bike, keep them they way they are. Leathers should fit like a glove, skin tight. When you take a dive off of the bike, you don't want parts moving as you are sliding. Now if you are looking to place a back protector in them, getting the 44's may have been the ticket. With clothing I would imagine leather included, it is easier to take it down then to move it up. Hope that helps.

Thanks, it's mainly when I stand up semi-straight, hunched over on the bike they aren't bad. I can walk around in them, but i feel like the hunch back of Notre Dame

If they fit good when you're on the bike leave them alone.

How new are they? Perhaps over time they will break in and you will be able to stand straight. My Moto GP suit can be fun to stand up in but it is getting better the more times I wear them.

Not that old, worn a few times (bought used).

Yeah after a few rides in them, they should be broken in enough to be able to stand up straight. If you don't mind me asking who manufactured them.

My junk feels like its tied in a knot when ive got my leathers on too. I was Evel for halloween and had someone who was Officer Dangle (with stuffed crotch in his shorts) give me a high five because he thought I had stuffed mine too. Nope, thats all me buddy! As long as they are comfy when you are on the bike, leave them alone.
