Anyone know anything about these? There's a jacket I quite like (retro series, not too retro that I'd look a **** though) for about £130, shoulder and elbow protection, room for a back protector.
Anyone ever owned anything made by them before? their website is www.lewisgear.com, quite a nice site. |

Yup - got a set of 2-piece waterproofs by Lewis - very good so far! Trousers even have braces sewn in! Ridden through some pretty severe downpours in these and kept me dryzabone

Not really of any use, but I had some Lewis Leathers jacket and trousers from the late '70s or early '80s. Monza jacket and trousers in navy with quilted padding on shoulders/elbows/knees, and red quilted lining to the jacket.
Lewis had an advert in some bike mags a couple of years ago asking for older Lewis and Aviakit clothing/brochures etc so they could develop a rejuvenated line of classic style stuff. Sold mine back to Lewis, complete with label-tags and even a Lewis plastic bag, for not much less than I paid for them (albeit 25yrs earlier). Oh yes, in their day Lewis was "the" name to wear. ![]()

My Textile trousers are Lewis, only because they were the only ones short enough to fit a short **** like me!!
Quite happy with them though. |

Lewis is now Frank Thomas in disguise - all part of the same group with Bikezone, Motrax, Lintek and a few others well known names. They have all their clothing made by the same people in the same factories in the far east.
There's a joke in the bike trade that goes Q. What are the only two man-made things on earth visible from the moon with the human eye? A. The Great Wall of China and the Frank Thomas reject and returns marquees at the BMF show. |

I`ve got a Lewis Ladies textile jacket and love it... was wearing it when I had my accident and the only damage to the jacket was a slight scuff on the back (mind you I did fly so that might not count).
Is warm and waterproof and I`m more than happy with it, would buy Lewis again |
