Made To Measure Leathers - Page 8 - SV650.org

For made to measure they dont fit that well, look to me to be about 1 size too big - you entering any pie-eating contests?

Other than being a bit on the baggy side, they look good, but forcefield armour isnt going to help much if it can/has moved out of place.

As an example, Vixis hasn't worn the new leathers she got in NZ yet - need to get new boots 1st as the ones she has don't fasten up when the leathers are tucked in, but she cant get into hers by herself yet because they are too tight and not worn in - I have worn mine about a half dozen times and still find it tricky to put them on (as those at the ASM rideout will testify to, while laughing, when I put my jacket back on.

When it comes down to it you should be able to fit your underware and a t-shirt and thats it on under them.

Of course it could just be the photo's are not doing them justice and I am ranting here for nothing

They look a bit long in the arms, can we see a back view?

Shouldn't we have a poll in idle banter. Maybe something along the lines of ...

[ ] Nice leathers but I'm just too cheap to buy MTM.
[x] Mmmmm, nice.... and so are the leathers
[ ] They'll look great with a few scuffs and a dead pheasant on 'em
[ ] S'pose they'll do

Just a thought,

And probably best to bend over for the photo too - riding position 'n all that

That's quite true.

Yup it's good stuff, pretty good waterproofing effect too.

Your suit is lovely, Gracie, very nice. It does look a bit loose though, maybe just the angle of the photo?

Good stuff, thanks guys. Will give my new leathers a good doing with it then,
