New Suit Break-in
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:36 pm
My new Neptune Scepter suit arrived this morning (won't say which one ... yet). Estimated ship date 1/6 - 1/26, arrived 12/19 ... a very pleasant surprise, and thankful I was here to sign for it.
Nice suit, the stitching is brilliant and fit ... is to absolutely to die for. I ordered a medium which ended up to run a little small and a little on the tight side (not a problem where I do like smaller suits), but within a couple minutes, I could already tell it was definitely going to be uncomfortable for extended wearing.
This afternoon, I climbed into a hot bath with the suit on, soaked for a while, then got out and let the suit dry while still on me. The fabric relaxed just enough to now be very comfortable and now it fits perfectly to my body like a second layer of skin.
I will admit that I have done this to my favorite jeans in the past ... my 501 button-fly stretch to fit ... black stretch 511 skinny ... and best of all, my black 510 super skinny ... all where I have worn them in the bathtub with water as hot as I could stand, the gotten out and wrapped myself up in every towel I owned and kept them on until almost dry and completely molded to my body.
Does anyone else have a break-in routine for new suits? Some suits fit perfectly right off, some will never fit right and some need a little help. Just wondering ...
