No, he said it may have caused as much as 15% shrinkage. And he explained how and why they DO shrink when they get wet.As an avid snowboarder who has soaked more than his fair share of leather gloves, I've soaked tons of leather landscaping & mechanics gloves too. Never had a problem with shrinkage. Additionally, iirc, the expert said moisture MAY HAVE caused shrinkage.
"Since I didn't personally try the gloves on at any point in time, I would estimate the shrinkage of approximately 15 percent."
"What happens when gloves get wet, the water or whatever it is that actually wets the glove absorbs small amounts of the fat liquor which creates shrinkage. Over time, as the gloves dry naturally, the gloves actually can come back very close to its original shape, but they will never come back to the original size, because once a certain percentage of the fat liquor disappears, the glove loses a little of it's elasticity."
But I'm sure Thxone's claim that his vinyl motorcycle gloves didn't shrink after getting wet totally disproves the expert witness, and proves OJ was set up...
