Why is only a 2-3″ stretch recommended?
If the fabric is over-stretched for a long period of time, the fibers will begin to break down, causing the fabric to thin and lose its shape. Additionally, too much stress placed on the garment through over-stretching causes the seam thread to begin to give way or for holes to form next to the suede. All of these problems can be eliminated with PROPER FIT. It is recommended that the garments NOT be fitted TOO snug.
