Leather pants
Dumb question but are my riding leather pants supposed to tuck inside the boots or over them? They are kind of tight in the lower legs and seem too thick to tuck inside the boot and not wide enough to go over the boot, I'm confused?

Re: Leather pants
Most people wear their boots over their leathers. Every now and then, you will come across someone who wears their leathers over their boots (I think it is because their leathers are too big).
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Some pants go under boots, some go over.
Track-style pants (as in, if they have knee pucks) generally go in the boot.

Re: Leather pants
I'd say do whatever you want. Sounds as though it would work better for you to tuck them in the boot

Just roll them up a bit.

Re: Leather pants
Typically the boots don't fit as snug as they would under your pants. Also, wearing pants outside of your boots instead of tucked inside can lend your pants to getting snagged on your bike or pegs where you don't want them to get snagged (i.e. jeans over boots). I think my first track day I put the leathers on the outside and thought I looked like an idiot when I saw everyone else wearing their boots outside their pants.
