Custom leathers

[rocket]

Since I have got back into biking my leathers that used to fit me don't seem to fit me as well. They are ok just a bit restrictive in places. So I was generally browsing the Internet and came across a thread regarding a company making custom repsol leathers. Looking further into it I saw the company did Rossi , Hayden and quite a few other reps. The quality of the leathers looks good but I was still dubious then looked further and they seem to make quite a few leathers for racers. So I contacted the company and had a good chat with them and I have put an order in. I have designed a set of Max Biaggi leathers with some shuttle changes sent in my measurements all 20 odd and some lovely photos. So fingers crossed in 6-7 weeks time I'll Have a decent set of leathers that fit.

I had a bad experience with some custom leathers but it was a long time ago now.

Sent off all the measurements, went down for a fitting before being machined properly so you'd think they couldn't get it wrong.

They sent them through the post a couple of weeks later and the trousers were ok but the jacket was way too small. I complained and they told me that they always get tighter when machined the final time, which I knew but they went about 2 sizes too small

I couldn't even get it on to try and stretch it,

I hope your swill be Ok, thankfully now there is a wide selection of ladies fit available but they still haven't cured the saggy arse I always seem to end up with

I hope so too I know it's a bit of a gamble what I chosen but fingers

My mistake was not taking a picture at the final fitting to make sure the last seaming was going to be OK, then I could've had before and after.

The quality of the product was good but these were hand finished and I think whoever it was had a hangover

My custom leathers have been great, they fitted well first time, are top quality and have proven themselves after a 80mph track crash. I got them fixed and they're still my road leathers now 10yrs later.

At those prices it's something i might consider in the autumn.

That's why I punted for it kwacky is worth a bit of a risk at that money .

With regards to off the Peg I don't think they have ever fitted snug either to big or to tight and it's always a compromise for me. I must be odly shaped

the only leathers i could get to fit were BKS and they arent perfect

Try being female and a weird shape like me, 32inch leg, size 6 bottoms, top has to have a minimum of a size 10 as my arms are so long anything smaller and the arms would end at the elbow, unfortunately far too big elsewhere

It's not my fault I didn't quite evolve from the apes and still drag my knuckles

I have bought a Held jacket which is so much better but the price was steep and Dainese bottoms are good as well
