Some Adjustment Required

Since the weather was unseasonably warm for Mid-Atlantic Leather this year, I was able to dress lighter than usual, thus leaving my leather shirt in the closet. On a whim this morning however, I tried it on again to see how it fits.

Thanks to a few months of work-outs, the shirt's chest is now pretty tight. I could close the second upper snap but it popped again when I resumed breathing. The arms are very tight too: the shirt fits but only if I don't try lifting anything over 5 lbs or raising my hands above shoulder height.

I'll probably buy a replacement at some point, but only when I've decided I'm closer to my weight/size goals, perhaps MAL 2014.

Oh! Do the "Incredible Hulk" thing where your bulging muscles rip the shirt apart.

I almost did that a couple of weeks ago. I was out shopping and was trying on a new shirt: the chest & shoulders were fine but the arms were so tight I could have ripped the seams if I made a fist. A pity too... I really liked that shirt style.

Just as long as you can keep your legs up, dear ;-)
