Ducati Leather Jacket

[R-KivE]

Where would be the best place to buy one from?

Would it be cheaper online or even from the USA/Europe?

[damon]

depends what you want? brand new or 2nd hand? bare in mind that all dainese stock has gone up in price since the euro has pounded the......pound!

also some of the ducati stuff you see on ebay isnt dainese original and just copied, it may work for some but i know from a friend it isnt as well fitting.

i may know of a dainese ducati jacket coming up for sale soon though, size euro 54 which is roughly 42-44" give or take

I am looking for a brand new jacket,

The type of style I want is pretty much identical to this one,

If you click the link and then find the "80s" Jacket.

The price is bit high for me, I was looking at spending around £100-£150, is there anything you could reccomend?

I kind of like the neckstrap or zip that goes up the neck, rather than without.

This is the jacket I really want to get, but I need to think about what else Im going to buy because it could add up to be a lot.

Have you seen the one similar to the 80's style one in the Nero line?

[R-KivE]

Yeah that looks very nice,

Just the price thats putting me off a bit.

Will I find a decent authentic leather jacket for under £150?

[damon]

What size are you bud cos i might be flogging my 80s jacket and its only a year or so old but hardly worn cos ive got 2 and just rotate the usage, and dont ride in bad or wet weather.

[R-KivE]

I am not to sure of my jacket size, but will t-shirts/jumpers I am normally a size Large.
