Default Breaking in new leathers

I finally bought me a new 1pc suit since I have a track day in April and was wandering if any one has any ideas on how to break them in good other than just wearing them while riding. I am not used to wearing something this snug and with the back protector it a really good fit.

One crazy idea that I was told about was to get in the shower with them and stretch them for a bit and then hang it up in the sun to dry. I thought it would make them tighter but they said it wouldn't.
