leather gloves

Is there a clever way to stretch them a bit bigger .

A heat gun maybe??

Depends on where they are tight but I've used broom sticks up inside each finger.

Put them in a bucket of warm water. When they're properly wet, stuff them full of small bits of rag and hang them up until they're dry.

I'm not sure I would call it clever but a ride in the rain has worked in the past for me but you could also try Dubin and wear them around for awhile

Probably softening them with water and then wearing them till they'er dry.

Some good ideas there ,i'll give them a go .I was killing time in a pawnbrokers and saw a like new pair of Alpine Stars XL sp1's for $30 . My size but
just a little tight .Have oiled them up ,getting better .I wanted to wear them to bed but Carol said it was just too weard.

Carol is probably more a Chaps girl

I go with getting them wet and wearing them until dry. Works for Blunstone boots but they still have to be close to size.

A trick for stretching shoes is to fill them with rice and add some water. Don't leave them too long or the seems will bust.

Not sure if it will work for gloves.

Serious. Living in a share house when I was young and innocent, one of my mates came home and said "Look at me new brouges, they were on special." Everyone was like WTF? If you had spare cash it was spent on beer and/or pot. Not gay shoes. The shoes were a bit tight, so another mate suggested the rice trick. Standard wild night in the house, the shoes were forgotten about and left untill the next day. One pair of f%^*ed shoes!
