New leathers (2 piece)

Post by SSS »

My new leathers are coming today. IXS Firebird - 2 piece - suit.
Managed to actually find someplace with a size small (36) in stock - and after much correspondence sounds like they'll fit my small frame.

However still expecting them to look like this on me

Getting anything to fit from the claimed size without trying on is a lottery. I hope it works out for you,or the seller operates a good returns policy.

Its from J&S, and there is a J&S Accessories store in Edinburgh about 25 miles away from me (as no-one seems to have smaller sizes in stock). This item is coming from the Finedon store (had to google where that is). So returning shouldnt be a problem - in theory.....

Get made to measure if you can afford them, about 25 years ago I got measured for a set of leathers and got told to buy off the the peg 42" leathers as I was almost a perfect fit for them, sadly, now that I weigh 14 stone, off the peg 42s would be a lot snug.

Suit has arrived!! Tried it on. Fits perfectly! Really happy with it. Fits really well on arms, chest and waist. The guys at the J&S Finedon store, kudos to them for helping out with the measurements etc prior to ordering.

FYI It is one of these. https://jsaccessories.co.uk/product/ixs ... lack-27930
