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

how long is a piece of string?

gary tompkins · 04-01-2011, 10:33 AM

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.

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.
