    High end racing suits are made of only Kangaroo skin, mine from BKS is 1.2mm thick on average. They aren't built for one crash only, they can be repaired. In moto gp, they probably change them all the time because the cost is negligible at that level. And yes Kangaroo hide is easily more...

    You could get it comissioned by many makers, Johnson leather can most likely deal with such an order for example.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @Rugby and @Damon141 , no point to derail the thread any further. If you guys want me to elaborate on this aspect we can take it privately or in another thread if you prefer. And to get back to Five Star, they have evloved very quickly these last few months and I am curious to see where this is...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Well... his products are easily among the best. The construction is on par with the Japanese makers, the hides thicker and tougher while still showing a lot of grain if you wear them long enough. They keep you completely dry under a downpour on the motorbike (tried and tested). On the motorbike...

    I don't like such price increases either but he is still cheaper than Himel and on par with certain Japanese brands. There is a market for his prices.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    LW is not yet Himel price thankfully, but they did increase their prices regularly since I have known them. The appeal of LW, is the quality of construction, toughness, pattern and unique leathers. If you would compare makers to cars, and tanks, LW would probably be a heavy duty tank made with...

    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    That is getting a bit too heated, let's cool off a bit Let's try to turn this into a constructive conversation :) There is an interesting point to be made, might be time to go back to the drawing board and consider what constitutes quality in a leather jacket. The obvious ones are: -...

    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    Not a bad idea... With a bit of formatting, we are all happy customers of Vanson. Edit: as in what better client testimonials?

    My heaviest JL is the bison one and it clocks at just over 4kg. If you think about it we often carry heavier rugsacks then this, all day long and they are not nearly as well balanced :)

    No end to it so far, there doesn't seem to be any limits. I am working on another unique idea, although it won't be the next project with JL, but the one after.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Seems like a highly neurotic seller!
