1 Piece Suit - Where can I shop for 'seconds'

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Monkey Boy, Mar 22, 2013.

  1. Again cheers for the info, I'm 42-44 UK. I've had a look round and tried on a few suits. What are peoples thoughts on Frank Thomas - this fits nicely :

    FTL300 Xti 2 Special Edition Suit White Red Silver - Leather Suits - Clothing

    But not sold on the flexible armour.

    This looks good too, I tried on the latest Race Tech Evo suit - very snug :

    Also interested in this - but not tried any Spyke on before -

    Spyke Command Race Black/Red/White Motorcycle Suit
     
  2. After my last set of FT didnt even stand up to a 30 mph spill, and the leather repairer refused to touch them given the lack of double stitching and lycra panels which had no reinforcement, I'd go the the RST or Spyke
     
  3. See my reply to the post on 'leather mods?' For an outfit called hill4leather.com who could turn your two piece into a one piece for about £200. Though for not that much more you could get a decent new one piece... Just a thought.
     
  4. I've got a man waiting for payment for the 2 piece dainese suit he's selling in the classifieds on here.

    What was your opinion on those?

    I offered him £500

    He said they were 1400 new...
     
  5. So what? It's second hand now :smile:
     
  6. I just mean they must have been a high quality set of leathers. It's not that the price is an issue. I wouldn't have offered it if I wasn't willing to pay that much for them.

    I'm just curious as to whether people think they are a decent set of leathers or not.

    You can see the thread here
     
  7. Even though they may have cost £1400 new (and I'm amazed anyone would pay that much) I'd not pay over £300 for them.

    But that's just me.
     
  8. Have you checked eBay?
    there is loooooooads, and with a little bit of patience, you'll get a great deal. And I mean a really great deal!
