    Sorry to get off-topic, but here's a couple of suggestions.

    Natural Wear Leather in Chch, ph (03) 379 6174 or email naturalwearleather@xtra.co.nz for your free brochure and key ring.

    Leather Direct, in either Chch or Wgtn, ph 0800 392 627

    Leather Image in Chch, ph (03) 365 3007 or www.leatherimage.co.nz

    Jet Products in Hawkes Bay, ph (06) 878 7949 for their catalogue or www.jetproducts.co.nz

    I hasten to point out that I've not used any of the above establishments, I got the details out of Motorcycle Trader and News.

    Let us know how you go.


    And I'm medium height. But reasonably bloated.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Natural Wear make great gear, but why leather?
    I have bib and brace, pants, jackets, all leather, all leak, all much colder than cordura, and all more expensive to buy.
    I only wear the leather on warm sunny days, so hardly ever actually.
    Leather is so 20th century maaan :spudbooge

    So do what I did.
    Crash your cordura jacket a few times, and when it's sufficiently holey (or holy), get leather overlays. Best of both worlds.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yes, I've walked past that shop a few times myself. Problem is that when it comes to clothes I have the descriptive powers of a pickled hamster and I don't know if she'll understand the concept of "jacket" followed by some hand-waving.

    BTW, it's the width of my shoulders that cause my fitting problems. Purely for the record, you understand...
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Excellent, thanks for that. I'll look into it. Just had the cheque from the insurance company. Whoo!

    Moto mail suck in my experience.

    I could not get any larger than a 2xl from them.

    Red Baron supply my 4XL needs.
    What they don't have thay have always happily sourced in about half the time it takes Moto mail. And usually better priced.
