New leathers.. fit?

[upsidedownmark]

After a good few years biking in textiles, and renting leathers for the occasional trackday.. I'm looking to buy my own.

Think I know roughly what I'm going for, but I'm pondering over size - if I go a bit larger, they're easy to get on, and can accommodate my back protector and the fitted one comfortably, the legs feel a little long. If I go a size down, the legs are about the right length, but they're a bit snug around the thighs, and I need to take the integrated back protector out to fit my own in. Wearable, but a bit on the snug side.

We're told that snug is better if you fall off.. I guess my question is twofold:
How much would you expect them to give out - I'm guessing that like shoes they break in somewhat, don't want to have the larger ones get much larger..
How snug should they be?

Cheers.

Thanks all.

Wrt the back protector, I was just trying to 'illustrate' sizing - I have a forcefield l2k which I'd be wearing rather than the built in. Also reckon I'm a bit on the porkier side of my natural weight at the moment.. All a bit hard to call, ho hum. Shall have to try more on.

Ideally not custom - am looking at RST tracktech kinda price point. Mostly I'm a commuter, will prob stick with the textiles most of the time but splashed on a silly sportsbike, and msv stopped doing leather hire (which seemed to make sense for my once or twice a year trackday pattern).

Have rather big thighs(!), and a pretty decent handle on my weight. all joking apart I should actually drop it given I'm training 10-14hrs a week, just coming off 'down' season & having eaten a lot of cake - of course there's christmas to consider
