Not that flash the one we bought,but we got it cheap($65,$1.00 reserve),it let a fair bit of wind in through sleeve vents,and although reasonable quality leather,the sleeves were ok for gorilla arms me,but ladies not so good,and it was a ladies version.We took it to be shortened in arms,the tailor said leather was reasonable quality,but stitching was too wide,and cheap thread.Cost almost as much to have boots shortened(to fit under jeans)and arms altered as the jacket($65 jacket).

If I was to pay what others are going for from him I would pass.

Out of interest I asked the tailor what he thought of my Quasi jacket,and Moshin one and he said Quasi way better in making,armour and zips.And he had custom made race suits and others to repair,amazing the difference the percieved top brands and others look like after a crash from road or track.I asked the cost to make a basic jacket and around $6-700 custom fitted with armour etc,lined.

Mine seems to be really good, i know he has heaps of different quality ones the cheaper ones where "cheaper" quality, but mine is a really good fit, i had a spidi jacket not long ago and i actually perfer this new one, but each to their own.

I figure if you going to crash well enough for the jacket to not do a good job your pretty *&$#ed anyway! used to ride in a hoodie so its a fair bit better than that haha

Yep this was advertised as ladies and clearance or similar,had it on watch list and was cheap for wife,anyway she found it a good fit the wind through zips was the determining factor to sell it,and we got more for it when sold.

But a hoody looks way cooool eh.Till ya scuff it lol.

I was looking at those but ended up going another way because I didn't want to choose a jacket from a photo. I've been disappointed too many times buying based on photos to consider doing that with riding gear as well. I'll only buy on-line if I know from experience exactly what the product is now (like having physically seen it, touched it, used it), which limits options a bit... and if the shops aren't supported they'll disappear which I reckon will be a huge step backwards in terms of the quality available over a wide range of goods if the ability of the customer to compare products properly before buying them is removed.

I'll be fucked if I'm pissing around with courier packages going backwards and forwards while I sort out what I need, too.

I found the ladies down at Leather Direct in CHCH really helpful and extremely pleasant to deal with, they fitted me up well after ordering in all sorts of stuff for me to try, and it didn't cost any more for gear that I knew fitted my requirements before I handed over the cash.

I agree with trying etc.In this case the sizes were stated on auction,along with relevant colours.When the jacket was sent we got correct colour wrong size,emailed and told send it back,we'll send out courier docket as our fault.Before the jacket returned we recieved the correct size but was blue not pink,fine by us though,they said if you don't like the colour send both back.
Agree if buying online you get wrong size,the courier fees can amount to $30-40 sending 2 or 3 back and forth,after all the seller doesn't need to pay freight if size doesn't fit.

supose it only matters for people that live in auckland, but i went out there and just picked the one i wanted, he was pretty sweet bout it, hes got like 8 racks roof high full of styles and sizes so you bound to find something.

I have one of Mohsin's leather jackets, and am really pleased with it. It appears to be reasonably well made. He has some nice gear at good prices.
I hope you are happy with yours :niceone:

I've picked up two pairs of Mohsin kevlar knuckle, palm reinforced, wrist padded, moto gloves....they rock. The price for two pairs was what you would pay for one pair of name brand gloves. The leather is of equal/greater quality than anything I've seen in any store. Fully recommend Darren's products. Had a look at his leather jackets; and was equally impressed. I read the review earlier on about the rider who binned and the stitching held up, so the Mohsin quality debate must surely be put to rest now.......? If you are on a budget, and want some good quality leather at a good price- see Darren. Why is the pricing so low? Simple, low overheads. A good example of products out of Pakistan are the glasses that I purchased from a discount online warehouse; I bought four pairs for $350 bucks. Perfect prescription, perfect fit, once again; low overheads equal low retail price.
