    UPDATE ***** read my last post****. Vendor Quality has now degraded from when I initially purchased, I no longer buy form him****

    Hey guys, not sure how many of you use/wear/like leather race replica jackets/suits for your bikes, but I thought Id share my recent experience on a seller from Pakistan.

    Back Story - When I got my little Repsol CBR125R, it came with a full set of Repsol leathers (jacket, pants, boots etc). PO told me about the place he got them and raved about the value, quality and about the integrity of the Leather seller in Pakistan.

    I'd been looking at them on Ebay for long time, but was a bit sceptical to be honest, so I just never ordered or bought any. plus there were so many sellers, which one to try or trust??.

    Since the PO of my CBR had tried one or two sellers , he gave me the number of the fellow who he buys from exclusively now.

    I decided to buy a "FIAT" Yamaha ROSSI jacket to match my 2010 Rossi R1, to give this guy a try. I texted him, sent all my measurements via an email to him and sent payment via PayPal. 12 days later my FIAT Yamaha Rossi Jacket arrived ----WOW !!!! Quality was sooooo good.

    Next I decided to buy 3 more, Rossi Petronas Sprinta, a Rossi Nastro Azzuro and a Rothmans Honda, sent the payment via Etransfer to get a lower cost on the jackets and 12 days later, all 3 arrived at my door again -- WOW !!!

    7 days to make them , 5 days to ship via DHL

    Seller is honest and great communication, very nice guy.

    Anyway if you're interested PM me and ill send you his contact details, some of his stuff (not all ) is on Forcegear.co (not .com). Im in no way affiliated with seller, just a satisfied customer.

    Options (no extra cost):

    Perforated Leather fronts - or regular leather
    Back Hump - or not
    Change logos and colours
    Liners included
    Zippers to attach pants
    External armour is optional, as is the internal armour

    They also make full Suits, or separate pants. make boots and gloves too.

    These jackets are ~$250US. + or -

    I plan to buy 2 more in November, one to go with my Suzuki M109R and one for my Aprilia RSV Factory -- both these will be very customized in colour and logos etc.

    They also make great decor when your not wearing them IMG_3347.JPG IMG_3345.JPG

    Dude.....you have the greatest garage in the history of garages.

    That is an absolute steal for those leathers. Fantastic reproductions from what I can see.

    Yea, they're incredible quality and value for custom fit leathers.

    I can send you his number if you want one, easier than going via the website

    Yep, PM Sent.

    I just placed an order for 2 more, custom made to my design.

    These are just the graphic mockups. I changed some logos, colours etc you can see the gray & gold on the Aprilia jacket is computer generated, the Hi Vis Yellow and the silver lettering on the Suzuki Jacket is also CG, the hump will be removed off the back of the Suzuki jacket, both jackets will get perforated leather fronts. I also had all the external armour removed from the Suzuki jacket (doesnt fit the muscle cruiser)

    Ill post pics once I get them of the final product. (next week)

    Do they also make matching pants for these jackets. I wouldn't think too many people would have a pair of leather pants to match those jackets just hanging around.

    Nice thread.

    Yes, you can get matching pants, you can get a full 1 piece race suit, or just the jacket like ill be wearing.

    I am getting a pair of all black leather pants made in January, they will go with all the jackets just fine. Pants will zipper to the jacket at the back

    I bought a Dainese 2 piece a few years ago. I sure don't see where they warrant the price of those. I wished I was aware of this place back then. I see the back hump is an option. I wonder if they make a front belly hump too.

    My New Kawasaki Jacket and a pair of all purpose pants are on the way. Since I ride , Sports, Touring, Adventure, Cruiser etc, I had the pants custom styled. I took a pair of Alpinstars sports pants in style and had him remove the external armour , addcargo pockets, wider ankle to go over my boots, and a few other modifications. these are all black to go with any of my jackets.

    I've been trying to find a decent pair of leather sport pants that go over the boot for 2 years. Nothing that checks all the boxes. Those do, I like them a lot. Don't need pockets there, but his craftsmanship looks slick.

    And I don't know what happened to Alpinestars pants, but their fitment is FUCKED UP now. I have no idea who they are made for. I don't have big calves, not at all, and I couldn't get them over my calves with the zippers open. I finally forced them up and the crotch was just.... well... weird. They were unwearable. These were size 36" waist so I could tuck a layer in and still be comfortable.

    They are no longer being made for humans as far as I can tell. I have a fairly standard / normal body. 5'11", 185 lbs, 34" waist. No muffin top, but I'm not ripped either. Just another pale, slightly doughy dude.
