Mecbeth act 1 scene 3

Banquo

Macbeth is not used to his new titles. They’re like new clothes: they don’t fit until you break them in over time.

Copied from

http://m.sparknotes.com/nfs/macbeth/page_22.html

I didn't get the meaning of the highlighted part especially break them in over time.

Please someone explain it to me.

Thanks.
