Hello everyone,

What advice on made to measure leathers? How come BKS are so much more expensive? Better armour?

Cheers,

Huge

Anyway Huge ego,

As an aside, one of the owners of Hideout is Mr Carrera. I was going to order a Crowtree suit but there was a huge waiting period. I do agree with girlie that BKS are good, just expensive.

Out of the 3 listed I'd go for Crowtree or BKS (similar on spec but BKS are a bit more expensive)


Cheers for the info.

Cool suit design! But then I luuurv loud colours!! I may be the only person ... (Should have been born Italian, obviously.)

So ... if BKS and Crowtree are similar on spec, how come BKS suits are so much more expensive than Crowtree???

This months bore (ride magazine) has a review on em all.
BKS come out 1st, Crowtree 2nd and so on, might be worth £3.00 for a read.
I've just bought a set of Crowtree and must say they are excellent. Benn promising to do it for years but the wait put me off in the end I bit the bullett and went for. Well worth it to.
Heres a couple of pics.

Nice leathers funky.

Girlie,

Yea yea yea i know i did think about cutting it off but then thought that it was extra 'wear' when i go down the road on my back! It is a rather big carrera logo but they did such a good deal as i was racing at the time.

Hi,

It does? Where did you see that? My copy of Ride has a review of bags to go on the back of your bike, or something like that. Have I got the wrong mag or issue?

Cheers,

Huge
