Default New Leathers

Got a great deal on these. Quality seems to be on par with most big name brands. Hopefully I won't have to find out anytime soon

Good looking gear! I've heard alot of good things about Kobe leathers... craftsmanship is up there with the top of the line, but the price isnt-- Good score!

however--

damn you skinny, not tall people....

Joe Rocket is the only company that makes a size US56 for team sasquatch militia... my options are super limited.

Nice lookin' leathers Matt! When is your first TPM day gonna be?

Smokes, not only is he ridiculously tall, but he's built from weight lifting. Just another person to remind me that I can't flat foot a bike

Those things look great! Enjoy them!
I'm a 50US, I think I would fit better in a 52US. :sweat:

I can't flatfoot mine, either. It doesn't matter! The only time it would bother me is if I'm carrying a passenger. But, since I have no passenger seat or pegs on either of my bikes, that's not an issue!

Smokes my suit is a size US56. JR does make a US56 but they run small through the arms and shoulders.

To give you a base..I am 6'1" 265lbs
