Brand New Leathers Direct From The Manufacturer

**wildcat_lgf** · 17th February 2005, 19:36

Hi Everyone,

I am going to import a few items of clothing direct from the manufacturer in Pakistan...they supply good quality leather motorcycle clothing to the UK, Italy, and the USA.

I have a reference from their UK source which is very encouraging. I know most of us are worried about quality, or losing our money, but with a pre-shipping inspection and a L/C from the bank we should be alright.

A few of you (about 25 odd) have already expressed interest in their products, I am currently working out total prices to NZ incl shipping, gst, duty, bank charges, etc so I can give you a final price on their items.

I have scanned the catalogue I received and hopefully it is posted below.

I am planning to meet with all the Auckland KB's who are keen and can make it, sometime early next week to answer any other questions and arrange a few orders etc. Any newbies are welcome to check out the last thread (BRAND NEW Leathers) for more info or you can PM if you have some questions.

I am pretty frantically busy at work tonight and tomorrow morning so please forgive me if any reply is a little slow.

Having done a quick price calc (I know your all keen to get the final prices), (all leathers prices) 1-piece suits look to be approx NZD$295, and 2-piece approx NZD$335, Jackets approx NZD$185, Pants approx NZD$175, and boots approx NZD$160. All depending on exchange rate and how much we order (shipping costs). Price shouldn't change too much at all.

Still working on details of payment but at this stage I am hoping (once we've met and everyone is happy) to get a small deposit to secure colours and sizings and then I will put the money up front (still to be approved by my bank manger

) when the order comes through you can see the leathers and pay the rest or if your not satisfied you don't have to buy. This way there is minimal risk for you and if you don't go through with it, I am at least left with a product to sell on?

Textile prices are cheaper but haven't priced any of that yet. Hopefully in the next 2 days I can put together a couple of pages in Word, of all the prices for the various products.

If I've forgotten anything, or you want more details just ask...

Oops...sorry guys, I just realised I worked out duty based on the Euro prices, not NZD prices. Real sorry about it

1-Piece price doesn't change.
All other prices +$15

So I suppose its good news if you want a 1-piece. Otherwise its merely annoying.

Cheers

still good value!!!!

**wildcat_lgf** · 17th February 2005, 21:58

I just this very instant got an email from Belpak stating that they have just got into an agreement with Thomas Cook Clothing Australia in regards to their boots in the catalogue.

Thomas Cook now have exclusive rights to the boots in the catalogue for Aussie and NZ and have put up USD$0.5Million for the it and for brand new injection moulding machines.

As such, boots can now no longer be offered to us. DARN IT

We need to hurry the order up a little otherwise we are going to be pipped at the post and then we all have to pay retail!!! ARRRGGGGHHHH

If and when your ready just send me a PM with sizings and colours and product numbers.

They offer Black , Red, Blue, Yellow, Kawasaki Green, Grey , Silver and White combination

Hope to hear from you soon.

You are a legend man! So its just those in the catalogue you scanned, can we choose from any of the models? I would like to get a one piece suit with the armours and sliders. Not sure of what size i would be though? I'm thin, weight about 60kg and am about 175cm tall. Maybe someone can suggest what size I would be when we meet early next week?

**StoneChucker** · 17th February 2005, 22:49

That sounds great, but I don't think I can get any just yet. Is the offer still open in a month or two?

**Nutter34** · 18th February 2005, 01:59

Sent a PM. Thanks.

Thanks for the PM.

At least 0ne black 2 piece with CE armour for me. Maybe 2...

Anyone got a reliable link to a good sizing chart so I can figure out sizes.

Depending on interest and how this order goes (number of hiccups etc) I may get another order in...

Belpak also charge extra for CE armour and knee sliders

1 and 2 Piece armour: CE armour in elbows, shoulders, and knees; non-CE in back and thighs

Jacket armour: CE armour in elbows and shoulders

Total extra price for armour + knee sliders: 1 and 2 Piece (EUR$12 +EUR$2) = NZD$25

Total extra price for armour Jackets (EUR$8) = NZD$15

Don't forget order will take 4 weeks to arrive once placed.

Please also be clear on model number you want and colours. Better to over-clarify it than for no-one to be sure what you really want. Please specify if you want armours and/or knee sliders and colour of knee sliders.

There is also 1 other 1-piece suit available that isn't in the catalogue...refer to http://www.belpak.com.pk Model B-4048

I am hoping to have all the orders by middle of next week...

Cheers
