Leather jackets for gals

**Velox** · 14th July 2004, 15:28

Hey - just thought I'd recommend old Dusty up at Leda leathers cause he did such and awesome job making up a jacket for me. Very, very exciting - picked it up today!!! It's hard to find decent leather jackets that are for women, sporty as opposed to cruiser-style (as most seem to be), fit well, and don't mean you have to trade in your bike to afford it. And he put up with me being a perfectionist and telling him exactly how I wanted it done.

Check out his web site if anyone's interested. (He does blokes stuff too of course).

Shit hes been around for ages. I totaly destroyed the back of a set of Ledas at teratonga a few years back.
He not only repaired the damage but made them stronger too. And charged stuff all.
Good man that

Dusty's a great bloke. In the "old days" everyone had Leda Leathers, it's good to still see the odd pair (or jackets) around.

I understand he works in cordura these days too.

I have the first one piece leathers that Dusty made - they would be over 30 years old now and are still in pretty good nick, although they have shrunk a bit. They survived my 16 years of speedway, my sons bucket racing and a few touring trips as well. Cost $99.
