Check out Collins gear. They sell both race suits and gloves. Send an email to info@collinsleathers.com

Their prices are so far beyond competitive it's insane. $89 delivered for their equivelent gloves (GPX2s) to GP Pros. Their leathers (full one piece, double stitched, etc [they will send you info]) are about $750 too. You can exchange them if they're the wrong size.

I hunted them down after my last set of gloves lasted 3 years of use every day.

P.S. Mention Nigel Lloyd sent you and they help me out a little

I haven't heard anything about these guys... but I picked up a business card at the bike show/MAD ride:

Wicked Gear
Name: Mike Jarvis
PH: 0416 752 565
Web: Exclusive Leather Traders
Location: Apparently has a booth/store in Carousel.

He said he can do a full measure-up, and custom make a jacket for me, inc armour and my choice of patterns and colours. Seemed like an OK chap. I haven't gone in yet... so I have no idea about the quality or whatever.... but he's in Perth, so why not check it out.

Anyone had experience with them?

I brought this jacket from them:
Exclusive Leather Traders

quality of the stitching seems really good. The armour probably isnt as great as some of the jackets around, but its also pretty cheap for leather.
For the price I personally love it. They also do a couple of replica jackets, and as you said, the guy seems happy to do custom if there is anything you want. Would be surprised if they were made in Aus though.

Buy online.

Try them out at the stores here, then do as Desmo said.

Also try ebay. So many A* items still in good condition for sale.

Spoke to that bloke today...the quality of the jackets sems...ok. I doubt you could find much better for the price. his jackets are made in Pakistan.

Online is the way to go.

I have made my sizing mistakes... coped it and learnt. Worst case, if it doesn't fit... sale it. You can always make a few hundreds.

E.g A* octane 1piece for $500US in a closeout vs $1200 AUS...

Not sure about apparel, but this guy is local (Mt Hawthorn). I've used him once. Can pick up, which saves postage.

Juist bought some Collins GPX-2 gloves from Phill at Collins online, great gear for the price and last for ages.
