  • I would start with an exploratory chat on the phone (or email: hideout@btconnect.com) with Kate at Hideout. A natter on the phone or email conversation doesn’t commit you to anything, but it will help you know your options. The problem with Hideout is they can do almost anything, so it's handy to know roughly what you want before you visit. You could have a perforated cowhide right leg in pink with D30 armour and unperforated kangaroo in green for the left leg with Knox MicroLock armour. Kate’s a font of leather knowledge and advice, so it’s valuable to chat with her before you decide about a flight.

For a one-piece race suit, Hideout starts at £900 plus 30% for made-to-measure. Scott Leathers is about £100 cheaper. Either of them would be considerably better, IMO, than the equivalent Dainese Laguna Seca (from £1,530 to £1,960 for made-to-measure without an airbag).
Top man, coolio :)
