I had the same problem with mine. What I did was I got someone with bigger hands to just wear them for awhile. It didn't bother them and when I got them back they fit perfect.

The method using water will work, but eventually, the gloves will feel too big. They will stretch out naturally as you wear them. I bought some that were just a wee bit tight when I put them on the first several times, but now I almost wish I had gone with the next smaller size since they have stretched out so much from wearing them. It will probably take a good solid week's worth of wearing them for them to stretch out, but they will do it without having to get them wet and possibly deform them.

How To Stretch Leather
2016-09-29 09:55:06 · answer #3 · answered by garbaez 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
first put on a pair of cotton gloves (jerseys) and then put on your leather gloves, you will have to wear these for a while but they will stretch out some. If they don't stretch enough then go ahead and get them wet and wear them till dry.

Sell them to someone for $40, and buy a new pair. You can't stretch them enough. If you soak them with water, they will change shape when they dry. (short fingers, baggy palms)Treating them like new boots sounds good, but won't work. The boots don't really stretch, they change shape to match your foot. Even if it would work, I don't think you would be able to wear wet leather gloves all day, do you?

I've heard that what some people do with leather track suits is put them on, jump in the shower, and then wear them while they dry.. this way they will strectch in all the right places and shrink in all the right places. You might want to try that.
I've never actually done it though so I cant vouch for it.

Put them on then put your hands in some warm water to soak the gloves though. Then wear them untill they dry. This softens them up and slightly streches them. Works great for new leather boots too.

Let OJ stretch them out for you.
If the gloves don't fit, the ride you must quit.

Have someone with slightly LARGER hands then yours put them on, then put them under water and let them dry, I'd also recommend getting some lube on them after they have dried a bit and are still on the persons hand, like "saddle soap" to keep them from looking and feeling dried out.

Sixty dollars is outrageous for gloves. I usually get mine for free from the leather shops who go to the bike nights. They give out free fingerless gloves just for stopping at their store. My cold weather gloves were probably only 40 dollars or so and they are insulated and high enough to keep the wind out.
