No,

But if wearing leather doesn't come accross ghey to everyone non motorcyclist anyway, you can prove them wrong with PROBE written on your back.

it doesnt say probe on the back - fortunately, infact i dont think the make is on there at all. so no one has tried these leathers and know the quality?

looks like i'll be the first if i can get to try them on before the offer ends.

I bought a pair of these
https://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=PROBEJEANS, they did take a while to arrive, stock problems or summat, but Busters kept me informed so not a big problem.

The jeans aren't bad for 30 quid, quite substantial knee protection, quite comfy to wear, although these are the only pair of leather jeans I own, so nothing to compare them to. They generally fit ok, but are a little baggy around the arse, could be me though, I wear them under a pair of waterproof textiles, look abit Embarassed on their own.

Gotta be better than wearing normal jeans though

Jeez - you're embarrassed to wear leather jeans or is that the brand is wrong?
Both options say something disturbing don't they. Sad

Especially if your name is Andy Nal and you personalize the jacket.

thanks for that - those are the 'jeans' that come with the suit im hoping to buy - its those and the probe jacket.
you will know this then - on the trousers is there a zip all of the way around the waist (except the middle front bit)?
but they are quite good leathers as a first pair you think?

No, they only have a little flap at the back to zip jacket to.

But for £30, I think they are worth it.
