Leather trousers

[Bikernereid]

You're right, those are men's pants. You'd never fit into leathers cut like that, regardless of pie consumption - your arse would just split out the back before your waist filled out the top.

Buy some women's leathers from Quasi when you get back.

Cjeeck bugger as ever. And the arse fits ok thanks just the waist that is too big!! And I daren't put on any weight anywhere as OWNER will dump me

Damn Right!

I am a bit confused at the sizeing. My pant dont have any room for a back protector and thats great for me because it fits in there nice and snug. I wish my girls trousers fitted better we might have to get them altered The last thing I want is gear that isnt right. Does Quasi do alterations or that other Las in auckland city that does do alterations whats her name again?

I was lucky to be given some georgeous Dainese leathers recently. They are a ladies cut and fit perfectly. I do have a bit of a squeese getting them and my calves into my boots though!!

I had just bought some nice black and white Hein Gerick (sp?) ones off ebay, measurements all sounded good but when I got them home and tried them on they were too big. They are ladies cut also, just for someone a bit taller than me (I'm 163cm). I was thinking of bringing them back to NZ next year and selling them, what do you reackon, would I be better off selling them here?

Are you girls in NZ getting your leathers custom made or is the "off the shelf" selection pretty good over there these days?

I've been meaning to go to one of the girlsbike2 stores and check out their range.... Must get around to it whilst I'm still over here.

I checked out their selection and it is just the same stuff as you find throughout most bike stores. And bloody hell it aint cheap either. Mine are womens cut but I think it depends on the mood of the person making them that day as I have tried two leather trousers in the same size by the same manufacturer and the second pair the ones I got later are too big on the waist. I was wondering if it is because the second pair are racing leather and that is why they are bigger?? Who knows.

Yeah, I've done that before, bought a pair of jeans that fit perfectly then gone back and bought another pair without trying them on to find they are a bit snug!

There seems to be two different "European" sizings aswell. The Dainese are a size 46 and the HG are 42. In normal euro size clothes I would be around a 40/42 so it gets rather confusing. I guess the HG are based on big Germans whereas the Dainese are aimed at little Italians.

The London MCN show at the beginning of each year can be pretty good for a bargain.... The bikeshops seem to take along all their extreme sizes to flog.

It was pissing with rain n very cold yesterday and these are my fave keep my feet warm woolie socks!

Pommie summer huh?

[pritch]

I don't know if we should be taking the piss outa anybody else's weather.

The other day when I mentioned that I was considering a ride to Auckland, someone who went up last weekend said it seemed to them that north of here the whole country was under water.

Maybe I should take a boat?

I reckon the Alpinestars "Stella" range would be worth checking out. Gassit Girl has an Alpinestars Stella Sigma jacket that fits her perfect... it looks like a tailored cut. Alpinestars gear seems to fit us "European extraction" bods

Box shaped? As in square... didnt get that impression from your profile pic.

I imagine that any small town leathersmith / clothing manufacturer should be able to do something with the fit of your pants. The reason I say small town is because many of these little specialty businesses's are hidden on main routes in small towns but have some huge expertise behind the counter. Big manufacturers dont care about one off adjustments etc.

Good luck

Yes, the Alpinestars Stella kit is nice, the cut is very feminine.... I think the thing with the leathers is getting a zip together or one piece that is fitting in the right places.... the HG zip together that I bought would suit the typical "apple" shape rather that the Dainese "pear"....

Us girls..... I dunno....

Was just checking out some of the main brands e.g. Alpine etc and you are looking at about $600+. Being a poor student they are slightly out of my reach at the moment!!

The one thing that does NOT come to mind is "box shaped"

I saw a mother at cadwell park (BSB) last years and her leather were colour coordinated with her bike's custom paint job. She looked awesome, baitch!!
