Good Shop For Trying Kit On
 
Hi guys, I am a difficult person when it comes to getting kit that fits correctly, therefore I like to try everything on before I buy.

I am currently looking for some leathers, preferably a 2 piece suit, however I am unsure where there are any good shops that I can call into and try things on.

I have tried Hein Gericke in Maidstone and was not impressed at all, asked the sales assistant for advise on short leg trousers which turned out to be "come back next month when the new stock is in". I have also tried Topgearsuperstore in Bexhill which apart from not having all that they sell in stock also offers bad advise, when I popped in they assured me that the trousers I chose could be ordered in a short leg which of course when they were delivered turned out to be "one size fits all" leg length.

Anybody know anywhere else in the South East that you can try the kit on there and then and are half decent price wise?

George White outlets- everything they sell is on racks, and they sell a LOT of stuff, at real good prices. Massive rooms full of all kinds of stuff. Even if you dont walk away with something, you could spend a whole day there trying on stuff

+1 to both. George Whites new outlet might be worth a trip and our local J&S are always good for selection and price.

The J&S near me (watford) is really good for trying stuuf on. Its big, has loads of choice and a friendly non pushy staff who are happy to leave you to it, so another vote for J&S.

FYI went to MCN London Show today, found some great Frank Thomas leathers in the George White Outlet stall which I bought, even though they were busy the guy was more than happy to give me advice and help.
