So Im about to buy some 1 piece leathers, found them and they fit well.

just a couple questions though

1.) cant stand up straight in them properly, but when in a riding position they are awesome
2.) bit loose on my ass lol is that normal

I've enclosed some pics of me wearing them, for the trained eye do they look like the are too small or big

cheers

Head on does indeed look a little strange in the family jewels department, it will stretch a little once you get bent over on the bike and ride for a while.

Looks a nice set of leathers Thumbs Up My next set will be a 1 piece again.

Are the leathers loose on the arse when on the bike?

Usually they'll be loose around the arse when standing up but tight when sitting down.

Leathers you can't walk in aren't a problem providing you don't mind walking around with the top halk hanging, or don't intend to be walking around much.

How much do you weigh? You make me positvely look fat.

You should be able to stand in leathers, also mine are not floppy on the bum so to speak. One thing though, leathers take a while to wear in, I wore my pants at home for a week or so.

I would nt advocate this unless you want a severe bout of betty swallocks, pants should only be worn for 72 hours max Wink Laughing

My leathers were all a little baggy round the bum, but nice and fitted when hunched over.

So do you think I should go ahead and get them as they may stretch out abit over time? I can stand up dont get me wrong its just I can feel the leathers stretching.

Im 6ft 2 and about 14 and a bit stones.

the awkward thing is I've got huge legs but long dangly skinny upper body lol

and the other thing which is kind of putting me off is the constant piss taking from a friend about them matching the bike.

If they feel comfy then get them Thumbs Up

Matching letahers with lid and bike is just too vain, but something that I would probably try and do Embarassed

How much by the way?

to be honest....if you like em and u feel relatively comfortable in em....then i say get em....cause they will stretch after a little bit, just remember they are for safety so a loose arse will only be noticed while walking around. but why walk when u can ride lol Very Happy

Personally, I haven't been that impressed with off-the-peg alpine star stuff and would choose a made to measure like Crowtree anyday for anywhere near that money.
Only had boots and gloves myself, though.

Those leathers will go with your gixxer a treat (power ranger) but in one of the front parts the blue is such a contrast to the white you dont really notice it, and just concentrating on the white, it looks like a feminine hips bulging hourglass shape Laughing

I like them though, but I'd have to have black with a bit of white Wink

They make em however you want em, which is why you get some nutters having tuxedo suits made. Also those pics are from the early 90s I think.

They have some really nice looking suits up in their shop (already made and waiting to be collected) but when I went I found they were really quite pushy and not very nice people. Neutral
