Do a google search for BKS, but only if you're well-endowed on the wallet-front

Crowtree has already been mentioned. Try Hideout, too.

also MW Leathers

Damn fine gear and supplies the MET Police as well, customised mine to the very exact spec I wanted and pretty bloody bullet proof (seen a few crashed at classic bike meets). Not cheap though (£750 two peice race suit with full zip), but excellent quality (never seen better)

Blimey,

Did they just slice the leather off the cow and then just wrap it round the geezer? Or maybe even have to sew two together???
