Then take them straight to BabyB (Karen) @ the end of the next race meet like i did!

Just wanted to say Thanks sooooo much BabyB... they turned out FAR better then i ever thought... i will post pics as soon as i run out of film/get them developed as i am honestly amazed by how well they came up.. + they are much easier to move in etc! well worth the small amount it will cost you when i add up how much it would have cost me to get the leather care/die etc + all the time it would have cost me, and i very much doubt i would have got them looking half as good.

true true. I just bought an old leather jacket from a garage sale. It cost me $10 and looked to be about 15 or 20 years old. Still, as soon as I attacked is with some leather conditioner, it came up sweet. So yes leathers last practically forever!!:rockon:

And is BabyB happy for you to put all that info about her on the internet without asking her KK? (I presume).

If you put that much info about me on the net without asking, you'ld be getting a letter from my Lawyer!
(personal note: Remember to get myself a lawyer!) :D

The reason I like to be known as Racey is it brings a little intrigue into my otherwise boring life! (And you thought it was all about my riding style!) ((Maybe next year!!)).

Just a friendly reminder about net security. :rockon:

My apologies i haven't been on site for a while ........... KK I am rapt that you are so happy with the suit.  Thanks for the good review, it's good to know my work was appreciated. :niceone:

Racey Rider, I gave permission to kk to spread the word and pass on my details.  However, thanks for your concern.

If you want any further information in reference to your leather reviving requirements,(unfortunately I don't do leather repairs, but I can make arrangements for it)  please do not hesitate to contact me.

Am currently working on trying to get a web page up, will advise when this is available.  I may be also available to repair any track damage to suits on the day, costings for this could be from $10.00+.

what's the best stuff to use for cleaning grime/insects off leather?
I have some marinol leather cleaner but that didn't work too well.

 :eek: Marinol is a conditioner not a cleaner. lol it will be harder to clean the old grim now. usally a leather soap & warm water water.

 :D or just give me a ring to do them lol

dayum! I thought I used the cleaner(the one in the squirty bottle). I also have the conditioner(the thick stuff) but didn't use it thank goodness. I also tried warm soapy water but still no luck. I spose it doesn't help that the leather is green/white. maybe I'll have to get it to You for the magic touch.
