Grasshopper Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I recently sold my first leather, it was from the 1980's, but I loved it. I even painted the back of it with clouds and trees, now how cool is that! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I don't have a leather jacket anymore as they make no sense for the sort of riding I do. I have still got my leather waistcoat though, last worn to a funeral in October 2019 . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Years ago, I tried to get Mandi to chuck her old bellstarf leather jacket. She had no chance of getting into it. Daughter has taken a shine to it and it fits her perfectly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Last leathers I had were a made to measure one piece from MJK Leathers. Not cheap but so nice to wear, even used them on a trip to Spain in mid summer because I’d had them perforated when they were made. Sold them before I moved to Spain for about £300 I think. The photo is from a trackday at Donnington Park. Unfortunately the leathers didn’t make me any faster! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
