That's a fair point. Personally, when it comes to leathers, I would like the suit that I choose to stretch to fit my body shape, not have it pre stretched to somebody elses. Same goes for shoes, but this of course, is just my opinion :smile:
I'd buy second hand but not without trying them on first. That said I've sold two sets of leathers on eBay and they didn't try them on. God bless 'em :smile:
The OP is conspicuous in his absence of not replying to any comment on this thread. What size is he? is he a he? Is he a she? There have been a lot of offers on the thread of cheap leathers etc. Makes me wonder.......................
I've bought a few bits and bobs off ebay that have not fitted and very time I have re-listed the offending item with a better title, description and photos and sold for more than I paid, so in my experience its worth a bit of trial and error. in fact if this ipad keeps altering my fucking typing its going on ebay tomorrow 99p and no sodding reserve!
The stuff I bought was identical to what I already had so I knew it would fit. Virtually new dianese race boots I got for £25 when i paid £165 for mine originally. Dianese 1 piece race suit was about £100 compared to the £1200 I paid. So worked out well for me.
Yeah by all means buy new stuff at a cut down price that you know will fit, thats just good practice :tongue: Now Supertech R's size 46, searching, searching, searching :biggrin:
Tried on an Alpinestars leather jacket on at Hein Gerike yesterday, euro 50 was a perfect fit, so I now need to trawl ebay for one half price.
I've a set of Dainese Kirishima leathers (black, red & silver) worn 4/5 times & a brand new set of Alpinestars SMX leathers (blue, white & black) for sale...size UK 42 & 46 respectively! Both well over a grand, the Alpinestars were £1300. Also a matching set of new Alpinestars GP Tech gloves to match...let me know if anybody's interested!
I have a set of Dainese Kirishima leathers and there is no way I am selling them. They are just so comfortable and seemingly well made. Give amazing mobility on the bike and confidence. A top purchase.
They are the bollocks, so good I bought another set in the next size up as they were a better fit, hence me selling the smaller size! The Alpinestars were bought with me ordering a new blue & white bike...changed my mind after spending 2k on new gear...knob!!
