I'm looking at getting a leather jacket and trousers, but I am finding it difficult to find any decent retailers online, I know the general advice is not to buy online unless you;ve tried it on, but I have limited local retailers and would like to see what's available.

Anyone care to list any online stores they have used and beleive to be good / have wide stock range. Some of the one's I've looked at already, they have jackets of a particular make, but no trousers, which is annoying.

Incidentally, I'm looking for Arlen ness / Alpinestars / Halvarssons

so far i've looked at-

www.grandprixlegends.com
www.mandp.com
www.hein-gericke.co.uk

Ta.

the guy who bought my CG told me that mandp and buster's accessories (google em) are both owned by the same people and therefore stock the same items (the sites even have the same item codes) so it's worth checking both sites as they often have sales on differing items to their counterpart. check out buster's Thumbs Up

The MCN Shop is good for seeing lots of stuff in one place because it compares stock from a few big online shops like bikestop, b&c, busters, m&p, sportsbikeshop, grandprixlegends etc:

https://shop.motorcyclenews.com/

I like https://www.demon-tweeks.com/ but they're better for parts than they are for clothing...

As you said I wouldn't buy without trying stuff on, but once you know what you want shopping online is the best way to go price-wise Thumbs Up
