Ok, so I unpack some boxes that were packed back when I was, let us say half the man I am today.
I uncovered an old leather jacket that almost fits, it seem to have shrunk a bit in size.
Lack of sunlight I suppose.
Does someone make a jacket extender for us Larger than Life guys?

The problem with widening the jacket at the zipper is that it the air tight seal of the riding jacket will be voided. At least on my riding jacket I have leather behind the zipper to help keep the wind out. If you widen the jacket's zipper then it seems that leather will not be wide enough. So can any of them work?

I'd try Ebay. If you have no luck, try searching for "paper stretcher". I've heard you can take one of those and modify it for pennies to make it suitable to use as a jacket extender.

Thank you very much!  This just proves that the internet may be the Oracle of all knowledge but if you do not ask the correct question, you may not get the answer that you seek.  I was searching for jacket extenders.... Got a lot of hits for vests but...... |

I got 'fat man' chains on my vest. It does get breezy but you get use to it.

I have the same problem with belts and jeans.
I honestly believe the darkness of a closet causes the belts to shrink in length and the waist of the jeans to get smaller(I know it isn't me)
May move to a South Pacific island-have been told that there men with my body shape are considered royalty!!
If the wind blows thru the widened zipper opening, just put it on and wear it backwards. Get a sign for your helmut that says "in case of accident DO NOT turn head around"

i tried holding my breath, could have almost replied to the "drop your valk" poll.  didnt work, did google and found Wilsons. Leather store, more expensive i know, but i dont pass out any more. also, for the belt and jeans shrinking, i found that Dunlop makes something for that, so now i got 1. only problem is after an "iron butt" 1000 miler, the under side of my belly button hurts real bad.  |
