Did you ever have any joy finding some made to measure motorcycle clothes?

do a search on "Motorcycle Leathers Hull"
2 very good companies PWR and Speedsport who cater for a lot of race teams, any design any colour, and certainly half the price of BKS

Scott leathers, but they are up in Barnard Castle so maybe too far away from you.

try christine at carrera leathers on 01763-247-365. They produce leathers tailored rather than custom built for the likes of ewen magregor and his mate charlie, and the lovley Kate

A friend of mine has BKS leathers - they cost £1,400 but are worth every penny. (so he says!)
You can get pretty much any design made to your specification.
I for one would much rather have these than pay £1300 for 'off-the-peg' fashion brand leathers like Dainese that aren't anywhere near as good in terms of fit or quality.

If you want a set of roo skin M2M's then you are pretty limited.
If you venture into www.motoforum.net there is a thread in there about them and IIRC only a couple of companies do them.
I have carrera ones myself and they are lovely :lol:
Check out crowtree leathers.
Made to measure, to your spec and design. Add kevlar/back/elbow protection etc.
Their website even has a basic price structure.

Sod all these leathers, just ride in shorts and a t-shirt, and maybe a hoody for the cold days. Much better than all this hot leather stuff!
Theres a place in Leigh on sea that do MTM leathers if IIRC, near alpha motorbikes
