2 piece leathers compatibility question
 

Thinking of buying a new set of leather pants at this weekends Scottish show, however a bit concerned that if I buy a set, the zip might not match with my jacket. I wouldnt have had any concerns just to look for a full zip, but a few people have told me that they were surprised that my leathers zipped together properly as they are 2 different makes.

So are they talking rubbish or do the full length zips really do vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?

Could do but its always bloody warm in these places and I'd end up carrying it round all day

I have just bought Richa trousers & jacket and the small zip goes together, but the full zip on the jacket is a thicker zip to the full trouser zip.....the zip will probably be one of two, either a thin zip (similar to a jacket) or a thick zip......then just measure the length of your zip and see if you can get a match.

Apparently HG will triple stitch in a new zip to match jackets to trousers etc, no idea what they charge for it though.

I would definitely check. My ex had a Dainese jacket and trousers and they didn't fit as they were 2 different models even though it was the same manufacturer - One zip was longer than the other!

Put the jacket in a small back pack. Handy for carring brochures and other crap too so you have two hands for fiddleing with stuff on stands.

Jobs a good 'un

better than spending the cash on a pair of pants then been buzzed up about it all day just to go home and find out they wont zip together.

My HG jacket zips into my Lewis trousers (both textile) perfectly with no alterations or additional zips...
