Default Do leather pants stretch as they break in?

So...I'm a newb in wearing leather pants but I have been riding my F4i in the twisties here in norcal w/ just joe rocket gloves, jacket, boots and an HJC helmet for a 2 riding seasons now. I just purchased the joe rocket speedmaster perforated pants in a size 30 since i wear an odd 31 in regular jeans size. I'm 25yrs old, 5'9", 138lbs(yes, i'm a small dude. lol)

Now since i bought them today....they felt really really snug in the waist line when i put them on...but i did loosen up the straps on the side and now the just feel snug> Are leathers supposed to be nice and snug ....AND will they stretch as I break them in??? Thnx in advance

i dont know about pants specifically, but my leather Icon jacket was pretty damn tight and stiffwhen i first got it. but since then it has loosened up and feels perfect! im sure the pants are the same and will loosen up w/ time.
