Satin stretch?

[SheriffGainz]

I purchased a Raiders jacket in goatskin back in January. I love it, it looks great, and for the most part the fit is excellent! I have one problem though, the satin sleeves are kind of tight. I have room in the leather, but I'm a gym bro, so my arms are a little bigger and I'm not able to have full range of motion in my inner lining.

Basically, I'm here to ask if the satin sleeves will stretch or contour over time. I've read that certain satin materials do stretch and contour over complex curves over time, and as I haven't had my jacket that long, and I haven't put too much wear time in, I was unsure. I don't really want to go up a size as everything else fits and looks exactly like I was expecting and usually like. I also had a hero jacket in shrunken lamb with plenty of room in the sleeves. Anyone have any advice?

Wouldn’t this post be better off posted in the guns section?


Seriously though, not sure about stretching but I do know satin allows you to slide your arms in easier without snagging and bunching.

I've never had the satin lining of jackets stretch over time.

Sounds like having the sleeves relined will work for you if the overall jacket fits well. Not a complicated thing to have done. I've had lining work done by Arrow with great satisfaction. https://www.arrowcare.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
