If you're feeling flush, I seem to recall someone on the forum (Grumpy?) speaking highly of Hideout made to measure http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/made-to-measure

Nine Lives in Farnborough do leather alterations and repairs - If you find something that nearly fits they might be able to sort it so that it fits properly. I've a feeling they are either Dainese or Ducati's official repairers.

Ladybird also had some quality 2 piece leathers made to measure a while back

Not sure who did them - maybe you could drop her a PM?

I bought a pair from Heine Gericke. Good quality, haven't stretched at all.

Only small problem is the length, they are generous with length, so they will fit, but you trim them, and that’s It, so measure twice, cut once!

if you can wait to the BMF show in Peterborough you should be able to snap a bargain

thanks for ur help.

does anyone know the cost of all in one leathers?

cheers

[bialbero]

how long is a piece of string?

[gary tompkins]

As said above - a difficult question to answer

However 1 piece leathers are often cheaper than equivalent 2 piece suits. Downside is they are not as practical in day to day use, and possibly more suited to track day work.

cheers gt.

Hi Chris, I would have thought George White in Swindon would have been worth a look for leathers? Not to far from you.
Good guide on the website.

As mentioned earlier, up near me is a company called Hideout leathers.I had a jacket made by them a few yrs ago there work is excellent, and not too expensive,give them a call.

[chris yeatman]

cheers for that grumpy, but do they do anything cheaper?

[Grumpy]

Made to measure always has a premium, al I can suggest is give them a call.

[He11cat]

I am going to look at a place in Norfolk ,
I'm a big lass and have stupid little stumpy legs.
So need a cheaper pair of leathers till I diet into my old ones .
I'm going to do it but it will take a while :(
if any good I can let you know.
The problem I also have with any off the hanger stuff is knee pads and stuff.
Knee armour is down my ankles so I look like I have cankles which I don't.
I just have a beer gut :(
