My new leathers

Postby Colette » Sat Nov 21, 2009 6:21 am

Very excited! My new Tiger Angel leathers arrived yesterday (see pic) and look great! :)

The jacket fits fine, however, I can't seem to squeeze into the pants properly - is there a trick to getting leather pants on for the first few times?? No, I haven't gained weight since the fitting, so am a little concerned it is proving this difficult.

Col, everyone I know that wears leather pants usually has some form of leggings underneath, long johns or stockings (perhaps not the fishnets though) :)

At the risk of getting thumped ;) did you measure or did they?
Are you sure it was right?

I don't have leathers, but when renting them the correct size has never been hard to put on.
I think you might need to get them corrected/replaced.

:lol: Funny boys ;)

Ty, I was measured by Julie in the store, so will call them Monday to see what is possible. As I say, my body hasn't changed since then and it really should not be this hard to get them on!

Col, they should be as easy to put on as the jacket is. If they are too tight now, you will never be happy with them.

Thanks Jase, I agree and it looks like I'll need to return them to be modified...frustrating as I was really keen to wear them in this weekend... hopefully they can get it sorted out easily. :)

I remember Julie, she measured me up from my Goretex suit. She's a very nice lady :).

I agree with Jase. My leathers are custom made too, and they fit pretty much perfectly the moment I got them, so I would think yours should too. Hope you get it fixed easily.

And get yourself some skins or skins rip-offs - you'll be glad to have them when taking your leather jacket on or off this summer, trust me!
