FOAK: One Piece leathers

OK, Im after some one piece leathers but have little or no idea where to
start other than go to Flitwick Motorcycles, the one in Luton that ive
forgotton the name of the street theyre on, or the one in Watford, think its
JS motorcycles as these are the only localish ones i know of.
Then basically just try them on.

Is there anywhere online where i can find a guide to what size i need going
by my measurements? Google ain't helping :-(

Oh, and anyone got any second hand ones they dont want anymore?

 

Made to measure. It's the only way. Got mine from JAK. Used a whole cow.

Is that how they do the sizing, "n cows"?

- Cow
- Cow-n-a-half (calf?)
- 2 Cows....

There's a few on ukrm that would be "herds" - no names mentioned ;-)

 

Got get thee fleeced by Graham @ GLF.

 

Forgot about them.

 

Donegal Paul says...

Graham has Arlen Ness and Wolf leathers in stock now.

 

Donegal Paul tossed off:

I have set of one piece Wolf leathers here, but IIRC you're a lardy
**** so I doubt they'd be any good.

Would they fit me? I'm not as lardy as the culchie.

 

Lozzo tossed off:

I'm fairly sure they would.
If you're interested let me know and I'll see what the boy says.

What colours are they?

 

Lozzo tossed off:

Mainly Black

With yellow custard looking splattering across the shoulders and sides
of legs.

Oh, and they bear the legend "Funky" in gothic script across the back.

Suits you sir.

I'll try and get a picture posted up to my Flickr account

Dan L says...

They sound as gay as Bear's ones; perfect

Wtf would have "Funky" plastered all over their back?

 

Ex Japer Carrot moped racing team presumably.

 

Lozzo tossed off:

I have no idea....

By fucking christ, they're awful. They look like someone has vomited
across the shoulders.

I'll take them if they fit me.

 

My 'Wolf' leathers jacket is 14 years old and still in v. good nick.
Not sure if this is the same company though.

 

Lozzo tossed off:

I'll see what the boy says and text you.

I managed to get into them once, but needed a tyre lever to get me out
of them.

Oggers, DWB and DNC have witnessed their true afulness in the flesh (so
to speak).

Always been made at the same factory from what I'm told. I have a Wolf
jacket I bought in the early 80s and it's still good.

 

"Dan L" said to Donegal Paul

Your right, though ill be thinning out in the coming year

also, im hoping to get some second hand ones / cheapish ones due to my
impending thinning

 

Lozzo wrote

Wahay, a chance to mention my Frank Thomas Racing boots from the same
ear. As you say, still in halfway decent nick, except for the wear on
the edge of the toes but they exited the 80's like that, honest.
