Custom-made leather pants - Melbourne?

Post by Ratmick »

Hi all,

I had a quick check through this part of the Forum and there are quite a few cheap leather pants people on here, but no-one (apart from Tiger Angel) seems to custom-make them to fit.

I'm really short-legged, there isn't going to be a 'standard size' that fits my waist, thighs AND leg length (it'll be one out of three). Knee sliders down at ankle level aren't a good look :?

Ideally I'd also like them to zip together with my Alpinestars jacket.

thks, Mick

Hmm, I'd thought of those guys, even though they look to be stuck in a time warp circa 1973 and everyone on their web site looks like Smitty...even the women, which is scary :lol:...

...just had a look at their website (which is truly dire) and they're the same price as Tiger Angel...and I'd rather go to Tiger Angel...if I was going to pay the price they're asking :?.

thks, Mick

Matador in Moorabbin is where I got my leather pants done, $323 or something like that from memory. There's also a bloke named Steve Peters in Ocean Grove that does custom leathers, they're about $400 a pair. Torini in Port Melbourne would be another option (Black Rose) is what they trade under I believe.
