Yes that's not good. Poor bloke think the sizes are wrong!! I tried on a lot to get my size right. I know people are on a budget but it doesn't take a lot to go to a shop and try on the different makes.
Looking at it a slightly different way. Perhaps the rider is to blame rather than the leather company. If he took poor measurements that didn't really reflect his dimensions you can't blame the leather company as they are only making what was asked for. I think perhaps what was missing here was a professional, accurate fitting / measurement session.
Well i am one that has used and will be using again a custom suit which is made by a on-line provider. I was happy with the first and the fit was better than i have personally have tried in shops. For me its not how the leathers look its a by product its how they fit and crashed i was happy with.
I think there's just as much risk with poor advice given in shops about fitments or people buying online with out trying a suit on. It may be a great deal but if it don't fit right its not going to do its job.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
I've had a few issues with my alpinestars suit (gp-pro so not cheap) including the main zip at the front failing for no real reason. When I took it for repair they commented that not only did the zip look wrongly fitted but it really was not fit for purpose. They (Joyda leathers - who I can't rate high enough) would not even use a zip that size on the ankles of their suits let alone as the main one.

That depends on which shop and how much you're paying.
I'm sure you can get a decent enough set of leathers for £300. Probably. I haven't seen one, though.
