In my experience stretching them out doesn't affect the rolls that will form over time.Will I have to keep stretching them out to achieve the right length over and over, thereby destroying my precious rolls? This is what I'm worried about.
I stretched the sleeves off this Thedi by half an inch. I don't see a lack of rolls.
Before vs after
@torfjord what's your experience with this, if I remember correctly you also stretched the sleeves of one of your Thedi jackets?
I don't think this is the case. Rolls form when the sleeves of a vegetable tanned leather jacket are bent, they're formed by the the waxes which settle the leather in a certain shape. (Seen on the Thedi shown above).According to my observations, the rolls form when the sleeve is long enough for something to pile up. If the sleeves fit exactly, then fewer rolls form.
