But on a serious note... are you sure the pants arnt female ones? i thought the zips where only reversed on the female clothing? bit like what they do with zips on jeans...
My first set of leathers where female pants and a male jacket, they had opposite zips too, i was too small to fit into mens leather pants at the time  ____________________ <insert><something><useful>Here</useful></something></insert> |

as far as i'm aware they're blokes the sizing on them is in inches not number sized (10-12 etc). They're not exactly small either
Not really sure what else there is to distinguish between the 2? ____________________ 2006 Eurostrada RX8 125(sold)>2004 Kawasaki ER-5(sold)>2002 Honda CB600F Hornet |

A few years ago i bought my self a Frank thomas jacket (blade i think it was called) and last year i bought a second hand pair of Frank thomas leather trousers (strike) being as they were both FT i thought that the small zip in the back of them would join them together. However the zip on the trousers is the reverse of the one in the jacket so this isn't possible.
I'm looking for a solution to join these together as the jacket keeps riding up and its driving me crazy. If i can i would like to avoid cutting it off and sewing it back on the other way round as this will make it weaker and might be a bit tricky as the material is quite stretchy.
Is there some sort of adaptor i can buy? Or has anyone got any clever ideas of a way round this?
Thanks for the help,
Shaun. |
One thing I could suggest is to fit your own zip get a zip, split it in half, stitch one half to the top of the trousers and the other to the bottom of the jacket
Hey presto, you have a functioning zip that holds the two pieces together
Sorry if that came out sarcastic, it wasn't meant to ahaha good luck and let us know how you go on  ____________________ Past Bikes: '97 CG125, '91 GPZ500S, '01 FZS600, '07 S/Triple, '99 ZX9R, '82 GP125, '83 GP100, '03 SV1000S, '98 ZX6R
