Grain Leather

Any advice on choosing a set of sports motorcycle leathers please?

I know the basics - the famous makes, how to check they fit etc. But are there any less well known (cheaper?) manufacturers selling in the UK market who are worth seeking out.

I'm after full grain leather, ideally a two piece suit, but I'd consider one piece.

Are there any good manufacturers in the middle of the market? We all know Dainese etc. but what about Spidi, Buffalo and Texport (etc etc etc!!)?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Spidi and Buffalo are good makes for the price (I have a set a buffalo leather and their every so comfy). I have heard that Alpinestars is supposed to be quite good make aswell but I haven't tried them before so I wouldn't know exactly.
I would recommend that you stay clear of the frank thomas clothing (Also known as Lewis), we used to sell this brand in our shop and every piece of clothing which was sold came back due to rips or not being weather proof, etc and they aint the best looking clothing either!

I would recommend that you pop into your local Hein Gericke or another local bike shop and when you have found a leather you like, ask if you can try it on and if its comfortable then go for it. Or alternatively find a make you like and then visit ebay as some dealers will sell their end of line or old stock on there and you can sometimes get really good bargins.

Another make to look out for is Akito

Good Luck

It comes in the most popular travel sizes today. They make the very convenient 27" Pullman and the 24" Pullman size. The 27" Pullman is so popular now because it is not likely to go over the fifty-pound limit the airlines have regulated. Many companies make a 26" Pullman and a 29" Pullman. One is too small and one too large. Mosaic Travel Gear also has the easy identification system. The bottom of the case has a "mosaic" tile holder for your initials. What a great way to identify your luggage as it comes down the airport carousel. You'll spot your initials immediately. Mosaic Luggage also has a removable travel shield. This is an actual cover that fits over each and every case. There a space for the wheels, and the pull-up handle is easily accessible through the travel shield. The shield is made of rip-stop nylon for strength and durability. It will keep your luggage soil-free, as well as protect it in bad weather. No wonder this travel gear is so popular! It has so many convenient and practical features.

TSA combination locks are also included with this terrific line of cases. This is the only lock that can be used at airports. TSA security personnel have a master key that can open the lock if necessary. All of the Mosaic Luggage is made of 1682 D ballistic nylon for functionality and durability. Each piece has full-grain leather touch points and elegant jacquard lining. Custom hardware is both useful and sophisticated looking. That's not all! The Pullman cases have a removable garment bag, which will hold two to five men's or ladies suits. Each Pullman also has a custom-lined dual compartment for ease in packing. You can separate your clothes, or use the compartment for dirty laundry on the way home. The cases will also expand a roomy two and one half inches when you need it. The outside pocket will hold a large jacket or lots of shoes. The add-a-bag strap will attach another bag and let you wheel both with only one hand.

The boarding tote will sit on top of any of the wheeling cases with the slide over compartment. The tote is gadget savvy and has a large gusseted front pocket with tricot lined electronics area. The gusseted front organizational pocket will also hold all of your personal items. The spacious main area will hold your travel accessories, and there's a padded shoulder strap. Inside compression straps in the Pullmans will hold your clothing practically wrinkle free. The material of the Mosaic travel gear is designed for the frequent flyer. The 1682D ballistic nylon and full grain leather touch points are built to travel near and far. This ballistic nylon is abrasion defying and durable. The zippers are self-healing. There are rear skid plates and custom molded corner guards to protect the vulnerable areas of the bag. The aircraft quality aluminum dual trolley handles along with the 80mm inline skate wheels provide superior handling as you wheel across crowded airports or out to the car rental agencies.

What else does this sophisticated line of luggage offer? It comes complete with a Track Back bag recovery program. If your baggage is lost, anyone can call the toll free number and they will reunite you with your luggage. The recovery program is designed to protect you from the inconvenience and financial burden of lost luggage. Each bag has a unique ID number inside. Mosaic also has elegant leather briefcases, pad covers and wallets. It's good-looking, easy to travel with and dependable. What more could you ask for in a travel companion?
