Leather jacket stretched out...

So, I purchased a Triumph Hawk Leather jacket size 46 when i got my speedy, and it fit perfectly at the dealer.
After a month and a half of riding, the jacket fits really big on me like it stretched out significantly.

Is there any way to shrink a leather jacket?

4 Weeks is a long time to wait for an answer but, use water. Soak the jacket real good and wear it around for a day. The leather will tighten up a bit, and shape itself to you. It may not shrink enough for what you want though.
You could also double your visits to McDonald's and expand yourself until it fits.
