Goldtop clothing...

[Speedy23]

Anybody seen their new stuff? Goldtop was one of the big brands in the sixties, easily up there with Lewis Leathers etc. Really good gear - I used to love their boots and gloves, especially the very thin racing gloves. Went bust in the 1980s. FF to 2016 and the brand was reborn, a guy called Kasey Cullen bought the name and logo. He then spent loads of time & money chasing down old Goldtop gear to use as patterns. And NO, this isn't an advert......

I like quite a lot of the old-style gear (Ace cafe reject 1st time round....) and I was looking for a new leather jacket for the summer. Just doing a search on the Web pulled up the Goldtop site, which, knowing the brand from the old days, naturally prompted me to have a look (I'm sure you all know how Google works by now..)

Anyway, long story short, ended up buying the Patrol jacket. Bloody hell, is it good. Fits like a glove, fantastic quilted lining.... quality aniline leather. Can't praise it enough. I was so impressed, decided to buy a pair of the 2-strap cafe racer gloves to go with it. Problem is, my hands are different sizes (L 8.5, R 9 - I know, mutant!) and couldn't decide whether to go for medium or large.

Couple of emails later, Kasey invited me to visit the office so I could try a couple of pairs on. Absolutely spot on. These gloves are equally as good as anything I bought in the 1970s and fit really well. Kasey is a top bloke and rides a 1977 Silver Jubilee Bonnie - so one of us. Really enthusiastic about his product and the brand - I would have no problem recommending Goldtop to anybody.

As I said, no connections with KC or Goldtop other than as a very satisfied customer. I would always spend my money with someone who goes the extra mile to help, and this was certainly the case when I visited. 

And it was a good ride, weather was brilliant, North Circular not so great, though. A good day out, ended up doing 250-ish miles......

Interesting that none of their stuff seems to be CE labelled...

I wear the tan Goldtop cruiser gloves when I'm riding my Harley. The gloves are not too bad, the bike is pretty rubbish.

In my young(er) days it was 'Godfrey's 'Gold Top boots etc. so I suppose some outfit has just bought the name, a bit like 'Lewis Leathers' and is marketing it under the pretext of a reputation earned by others. Not unlike the Bloor 'Triumphs' I suppose with their Shanghai-ing of the Meriden model names.

I have a pair of size 7 gold top full length boots for sale , they are nearly brand new, I can't get them on due to an ankle injury.

I was not wearing these boots when my ankle sustained the injury, but they are the same pattern as the 70's police issue
