Another thing worth considering is that instead of folding clothes (which can make them creased) roll them instead, that way they should stay crease free (ish!) Laughing

B) I can't get motorbike boots in my size (Big feet! size 15!) so my leathers wouldn't look quite complete


I know it's not a cheap or quick option, but have you considered Altberg boots https://www.altberg.co.uk/Web/index.html ? Their standard range of motorbike boots goes up to around a 13, but they offer a 'custom made' service, so you can have a pair made to your exact requirements. Of those who own them, all seem to rate them very highly - this probably explains the long waiting list of customers! Thumbs Up

Sorry to drag this post back up again but I felt obliged to say that I found some boots in my size and that boot makers cannot measure.

I was comparing the various manufacturers I've found that they all have different size comparison charts (at the larger end, anyway). Alpinestars reckon that Euro 50 is UK 14 where as J&S accessories think that Euro 50 is UK 16. Neither of these are correct because they fit me and I'm a UK 15


All I need now is the leathers and I'm going to use Hideout-leathers. Anyone know if they're good or not?

Again, no personal experience, but I seem to recall Hideout being well liked in the last RiDEr Power Survey. I think they're a bit cheaper than the universally aclaimed BKS. You could also consider Crowtree Leathers for custom made stuff.
