What size are you? I've got 2-piece leathers that I keep meaning to bung on eBay that I don't want much for.

If you're interested I'll take a pic and bung it up here.

Hello C2,
How's tricks? Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Can't seem to find anytihng that a) I like or b) fits properly. Tried on all the Wolf stuff the other day, and none of it fits!
Well, I think I'm about 6ft 2in, a 48 inch chest of solid muscle, and me washboard is about 30inches.
However the mrs rekons I'm 5 10, a 42 inch chest and a 33 inch waist!!

Cheers

hello mate - I reckon they'll probably be about right for you as I'm similar dimensions but taller and they're a bit short on my legs/torso!

I'll try and get a picture taken of them for you and see what you think....

Right here we go











The camera's been a bit kind to them as they're a bit grubbier than they look - nothing that a good clean wouldn't get rid of though. The zips and velcro is all excellent - I wore them for about a year and never had an off in them so there are no tears, rips or scrapes! They're a size 52 by the way.

No probs if you don't like the design - it's a bit lairy and I know it's not everyones cup of tea!

Chilli,

If you're after something thats gonna last & be top notch them go get it made to measure. Somewhere like Crowtree or BKS.

You're gonna pay more but they are by all accounts worth it, and with the amount of offs you have, having decent kit is a no-brainer hehe

I know thats the route I'll be going next yes

Cheers.

I think I paid about 550 for them so I guess £150 is reasonable?

From memory you work in London so I could always bring them in one day if you wanted to try them.

If they fit you could give your mrs your own private show

C2,
Sorry mate, In the light of day.....I've changed me mind. A bargain I know, but I'm now gonna stick with black, with maybe a hint of red. Sorry to mess you about mate, but I think they're just a tad too colourful for me.

Thanks again.

No worries mate - I needed to get round to photographing them for eBay anyway.

Good luck with your leather hunting!
