Yes you can go to the factory. Best to make an apointment tho.

Great leathers last well and made with an eye for detail. I have 'tested' mine about 4 or 5 times in the last ten years and they have stood up extremely well and IMHO been worth every penny.

Don't like the gloves.

I’ve had a set of BKS leathers for over 10 years now and they are absolutely superb. The fit is spot on (other than the fact that they seem to have shrunk a little around the middle!) and the quality and finish are top notch.

When I went to order my suit I simply called for an appointment then had a visit. I wasn’t interested in looking around the factory so didn’t but I’m sure that if you wanted to see around it would not be a problem as everyone was only to happy to help with anything I wanted.

If you’re thinking of a set of BKS leathers then I would say ‘do it’. When I bought mine, there was a quote in bike press that hit the nail in the head for me. It was something like ‘At the price, I wouldn’t want to fall off in them but, I wouldn’t want to fall of when wearing anything else’!
