I bought this leather zip together suit a year or so ago. It has been used for one trip of 400 miles and a few other local ones, but is substantially new looking. Due to illness and other reasons I have lost a couple of stone in weight, which I am unlikely to regain so would like to sell on. I thought maybe someone here would be interested before I go to a wider audience. It is size 50. The trousers fit outside boots which makes them particularly good for touring. The trousers are low cut at the front, which makes them very comfortable on the bike and zipped to the jacket, but tend to slip down on their own. I therefore fitted Oxford braces, which will be included. HG's sizing charts are on their website. I would say that the smaller of the two figures would be about right, as their stuff tends to come a bit on the small side, though these suits are intended to be a snug fit. If anybody is interested I would recommend coming to try on, although we are a little off the radar in south east Norhumberland, or trying on at an HG shop for fit. At their discount prices you would pay at least £400; I am looking for £200 + post. Thanks.
Stu.

I have decided to give the suit one last try with a jumper of two for padding, so am withdrawing the sale. Thanks to all who had a look.

Looking at present HG prices with their 30% off, the kit would be £371. I would be happy with £180 +p&p if necessary. The advice to try on before buying still applies. I would say 5 foot ten+ would be a good height. I am 5 eight and and about 2 inches too small for them. |
