[ST] tight leathers

[Robert Smith <robert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone own a pair of Triumph Classic leather jeans?

I just bought a pair of the above, 34 waist, which fit me perfectly--until 
I sit on the bike.

The bottom line--in more ways than one--is that they seem to be designed 
for the buttless. I have long-ish legs for my height and I'm not short in 
the gluteus maximus department (all muscle, of course...). The upshot is 
that when I sit on my ST, the knee armour feels like a vice grip on my 
kneecaps.

Question: can I expect the leather to stretch so there's less pressure on 
my knees when I'm sitting on the bike? Or should I exchange them for a 36 
waist and settle for a saggy backside? BTW, I tried removing the knee 
armour, but that doesn't seem to help.

TIA,
