    Alright, I took the plunge. It was weird to transact entirely through WhatsApp but in the end it worked out perfectly! I highly recommend using the full body chart Stray has on here and just send a pic of that form. The jacket has soft forearm/shoulder/back armor, inside liner with pockets, mini zip on top of each collar bone (vent).
    If you do order one of these, order it with the mindset of what you want to wear under it. I like my jackets to fit snug, but there is no room for a long shirt or sweat shirt underneath so this will be summer only. Whatever dims you give just be mind full of you beer belly, wristwatch...etc.
    He has a ton of gear and all good prices. In the end the turn around was 4 weeks I believe.

    WhatsApp: Soni Kashif, 92-300-8617108

    He is responsive to messages so in all it was a great buy! I will be buying another few down the road (Yamaha Marlboro Max B.). He will also customize a little on the layout and art possibly. Some of the prints are linked layouts so it may be a PITA if you ask for too much.
    Straycat is The Man, nice hookup!! Quality during actual rides will be determined this summer, either way I have waited 30yrs for a jacket like this so I am beyond stoked (I rooted for anyone riding or driving for Rothmans when I was growing up). I actually met Derrick Bell (24hr LeMans master) at Goodwood at 11yrs old while holding a racing mag with a story about him in it. He asked my mum for driving directions while sitting on his Rothmans NSR street bike.

    So, jackets #11 and 12 arrived today along with a pair of gloves.

    Jackets are aa great fit, gloves fit the hand well but will take a few wearings to get them worn in to the point of not rubbing my knuckles I think (due to the armour).

    The GRAZIE 46 Jacket is my design, its a tribute jacket to Valentino Rossi. One side is Yamaha , one side Honda (we ignore the Ducati years and pretend that never happened). The KTM jacket clearly to go with the RC8.

    Noice!! I am contemplating the Hayden Duc gloves or the Vale gloves. I have too many projects and don't do enough riding so the Rothmans jacket has helped get me out of the house. I love my jacket. I can't wait to ride my VFR with it on. :)

    You are basically the curator for a Grand Prix/ MotoGP / classic sport bike museum. hahahaa
    just amazing. All you forum guys are like this though. Each with their own sweet azz bikes and gear!!
    Love this forum.

    He has 3 or 4 different VR46 gloves available, I may go for a set of the yellow if these ones work out ok (but will change the palm leather from white to black).

    I dunno, white is pretty cool, even if they turn a little dark from wear. But I did post a pick of me in my suit, so I am partial. :) Cool stuff man!!
