Leathers? Recommendations/preferences?
« on: October 18, 2011, 02:26:28 PM »

This might have been done to death but I cant find anything so another thread is here.

Whats your fave brand/line of leathers?  Whats good in your eyes, whats not?

I've only ever had IXS stuff, which I liked but a friends of mine can get me Furygan stuff at trade so really it seems a no brainer for me to get some Furygan goodies?!

Are Furygan really as good as they're made out to be? 

Who/what does everyone else like?  :glasses9:

I got an old Furygan jacket and the quality is superb...........I've had my Dainese 2 piece since march and the leather feels much thinner and the stiching has come undone on the trousers already !!!

Never heard of them, they only do 1 piece?  How much are they? Cant get on the online shop here, seems to be blocked by work firewall.

I need a 2 piece first, 1 piece will be an added luxury at a later date.

Well unfortunately my friend that could get Furygan at trade for me has been forced to leave the job and so I can't get the discount anymore  :-(

Looks like I'll have to clean up and treat the jacket I have and just buy another pair of trousers. Ah well.  :roll:

Can anyone recommend anything for the more...ahhmm.. robust fellas amongst up... like for example.... 6' and 18 Stone? Ive always had 2 piece but would like to go to kevlar jeans with textile jacket plus and a 1 piece for more spirited rides.

I recommend RST 2pc leathers black of course:)
Buying dainese or any similar to  the most expensive leathers don't give more protection.

Spyke or Arlen Ness. Mind you it could well be worth your while getting some made to measure ones from MJW, Crowtree etc.
