You know I have the same problem.
I think washing my summer pants so many times has made them shirk.
I had to go out today and buy two pair of larger pants.
This has always concerned me greatly... well, OK... I'm not loosing any sleep over it.
During the change in seasons from winter to spring and summer to fall I clear out my small itty-bitty closet and move clothes to the walk in downstairs. When I put on something from last season it feels snug.
So, why is that?
Here's my answer... Clothes Shrink when they are in the closet. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, now when's dinner?
What's your story?

Everything, and I mean "everything" has a limited shelf life so it's just natural the riding leathers/clothes never last to fit properly over the winter. Don't hate me...just move on...it's natural. So, don't think about it too hard, just go out and replace them...that way you also get the benefit of getting the most up to date version of what you had. My story...an' I'm stickin' to it.
