  5. thats quite a cool look, our company secretary arrived at a board meeting on his Fireblade this summer dressed just like that! He's got nothing to prove and unlike so many that are obsessed with image, he genuinely doesn't give a shit.
     
  6. They look awesome! I tried to get some personalised leathers last year, just to have something different to the rest, but it was a disaster. There are so few people doing custom leathers anymore. I ended up getting a standard Alpinestars suit and then having it heavily modified to fit properly. It would be so much easier to find someone that did good made to measure based in London.....
     
  7. They all seem to be north base. Got some done 2007 from place outside Nottingham. Altho nine loves around Farnborough i think do M2M as well and not far from London
     
  8. Thanks Bradders,

    Yep, no made to measure. The last one I found were Halo, but the ones they sent were awful, they got refunded and then the whole operation went under. Haven't come across anything else.

    I just got an Alpinestars race rep suit, and had things lengthened, knees changed, and seat changed. By the time I had finished it would have been way cheaper to have bespoke, and these still chop the backs of my knees to bits..... No idea why there aren't any down south......
     
  9. Because all the racers live up north...where homes are cheap and they can afford to waste money going round in circles and on big race homes ;-)
