To Prolong the Lifetime, Loosen the Strap a Little Bit while Wearing Leather Strap..?

[beer]

loosening a leather strap will most certainly will prevent it from stretching but personally i prefer to wear it however i find most comfortable and if it does stretch over a number of months just start wearing it in the next hole

that said my AP strap has not stretched and i have worn it relatively snugly for around a year now--in comparison other leather straps i have owned showed signs of stretching after a couple of months
