Gear for Skinny White Boys?

[GSF]

My first jacket I bought was a Rev'it one, they seem to have quite a slim sizing. I'm about 178cm (I think) and weigh about 62kg soaking wet so I'm a fuckin' twig. The Rev'it one fitted really nicely.

I also found that buying womens or kids sized gear worked well and was usually cheaper. I bought some kid sized knee guards after skinning my knees in a spill, they were a lot cheaper than adult sized ones.

The current jacket I wear is an old Ministry of Transport bike cop jacket that I found in an op shop, cheap as chips. It's a top good jacket, has a zip-in liner, very thick leather, warm as hell in winter, plus it looks a lot cooler than most low to mid price range leather jackets out there. Try to find one if you can, they usually have a tag inside that reads "Naturalwear - made in Christchurch". They're black with a slightly angled zipper and that quilted diamond-stitching on the upper arms.

i do remember thinking its been a while since i've seen him post. shame really.

anyway i got some gear off him too, and have nothing but good things to say.

didnt know he wasnt doing custom anymore, but well worth an email at least to see what he might have on the shelf - never know your luck.

if you google qmoto you will no doubt find him.

I had to buy a xxl jacket for the arm length and then get the waist and sides reduced for my 88kg 6foot4 size.Nothing in large for my body shape has long enough arms.Cost $90 to get the side altered
