Does the leather on these gloves stretch at all? I'm in between a L and an XL according to the sizing chart, and based on some of the feedback here I ordered the L. They just arrived and they're feeling pretty darn snug, so I'm just wondering if I'll get some give in them once they break in or whether they should go back for the XL instead. Probably don't have room for liners as-is.
Otherwise, they're looking pretty sweet!

I feel like a lot of people think that this glove is "snug" out of the box, when in fact this is not the case. The glove does fit very true to the sizing chart and does not stretch much, however the CUFF of the glove is in fact very tight. Once you get the cuff of the glove over your wrist it fits PERFECT. If the glove feels short anywhere, size up, if by "snug" you are talking about the CUFF of the glove being very tight..it does loosen up over time..but will always be tight.

I think stretch is the wrong word to describe what happens. The leather loosens up and becomes less tight as the leather softens and gets broken in. So they do become a little looser over time.

proper fit of the stoic inbounds glove. if they are tight in terms of hitting the tips of your fingers, or thumb, and does not sit well in the thumb crotch, then send them back and get an XL. the glove does not stretch much, but the lining will pack in a bit, as you wear them.
