    Support Modifying clothing?

    Ok, Im building a pair of pants. I have brought a Dri rider jacket that I'm completely chuffed with however this will also undergo reconstruction. My pant's are leather patch work on the outside with denim inner of which the leather has been stitched to. they are second hand and I have opened the inner leg stitching up so I can wrap them around a new bigger and for me better style of jean. I am looking to put in kevlar inserts along with knee padding etc. I was also thinking of velcro straps to tighten while riding to reduce flapping? Any ideas of what is the best product for reinforcing and also what would look good on the outside… also venting? I don't really want the hottest stickiest balls on the planet while riding either. Maybe a denim/leather design as far as leather against the wind but denim covering other parts with reinforced kevlar around the butt and knees regardless? Any and all information regarding problems with pants while riding would be appreciated.

    Just ride really fast on your "Hyobusa" for an easy clothing modification experience.

    Alternatively.

    Go.
    To.
    The.
    Shop.
    Buy.
    Something.
    Some.
    Company.
    Has.
    Spent.
    Millions.
    Developing.
    And.
    Testing.

    Or don't because your giant ego is screaming at you that you know best.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I would think a pair of leather chaps, studded pink G-string and a plain white short sleeved T-shirt would match your online personality

    Perhaps you might post directly into Pointless Drivel ... it'll save the Mod's the few minutes it take of their precious lives to move the threads ... (as if they have more important things to do .. )

    i dont know why this guy has so much red rep but anybody giving him a hard time for wanting to alter some pants should also go after the people who mod their bikes because after all the bike makers spend millions designing and building them but some guy wants to alter it to make it better working under a 100 watt bulb in his cellar

    I have that embedded and I am still not sure what he meant. Well, I can say hand on my heart I have never red rep'd boots.
    But for someone so new he does seem to have a lot of red. Axel should be very very worried.
