Do leather jackets stretch?

[IAmOptimusPrime]

Been given a lovely soft leather jacket that is slightly too tight across the back. Is it likely to stretch?

[PinotScreechio]

Not as such, but it does soften to your shape over time.

Not sure that helps.

Wear it open with a scarf and Voilá!

A little! Will the lining allow a little give?

[Whitecat]

It will give a bit over time. Just keep wearing it.

[WowOoo]

Mine has never stretched. The lining wouldn't stretch anyway, even if the outer leather did.

[Tinsie]

As far as I can tell some of them shrink, but most stay unchanged.

It's not a thick leather, quite thin and the lining is not sewn tight to the leather. Not explaining it very well am I?!

Now I just have to decide if it suits me. Thanks ladies
