I’M WEARING >> Blazer: Vintage Ralph Lauren  |  Leather Pants: JBrand  |  Denim Shirt: ZARA  |  Boots: Velvet Dr. Martens  |  Bag: Louis Vuitton  | Watch

I am a HUGE fan of my leather pants, in fact, I could safely say they are one of my musts in my closet. The issue is, I have worn them so much that the area around the knee is starting to stretch and I am not happy about that AT ALL.
I know you have to take leather to a special cleaners, but can they also do something about the stretch? I am in massive need of advice!

This Vintage Ralph Lauren blazer is not only a new favorite, but also an amazing present from my baby sister who’s birthday was yesterday :D

  1. that is too bad. leather pants cost so much that you cant really replace them like normal jeans. Freeze them lol maybe they will shrink a little bit.

  2. I hate when my favorite pants get worn out in the knees! I don’t know what you could do about that, except someday find a new favorite replacement. Or get a new piece of leather or stretchy material and turn them into patched leather pants.

  3. OMG THIS BLAZER! I WANT IT LIKE NOW!
    This look I think fits you the most Andy.

  4. Love the leather pants too! They are perfect almost for every occasion, and the one I have are the most comfortable pair of pants (if we don’t count sweatpants) I’ve ever had. :)
    P.S That vintage blazer is so to die for! :)

  5. This post proves, one more time, that good classics pieces never go out of style. I have a few blazers like that, and I love them. Then add the perfect amount of preppy to a look without turning you into a gossip girl clone! As far as your leather pants go, I don’t think that you can really do anything about it… Leather stretches over time, and especially on pants!

  6. Dear Andy,
    First I must say that I read every single post on your blog… I love it so much, and your style is just perfect!

    I work in a shop with shoes and other leather products. Genuine leather is, as you know, skin, and one of a skin’s properties is that it stretches when needed… I know that with your leather pants this is a real problem, but that is also a reason why genuine leather shows are so comfortable after some time of wearing them…
    So, I think I must disappoint you, but (i think) there is no way you can make it tighter around the knees again :/

    one way to keep genuine leather elastic is to use leather care products, but you need to inform yourself about it (because a leather creme can be too heavy for leather pants, so you would need something lighter there).
    maybe you can prevent your pants from stretching this way.

    yours,
    eva viktoria
