Listing says you don't ship to USA. Is that right?

Sorry Guppy nothing personal but I don't in general anymore owing to the high cost of shipping linked to a history of pernickety buyers who were unfairly unhappy about items eg 'there are plating issues on a solid brass pen - obviously it wasn't plated - and the case is scratched -in fact it wasn't mentioned or pictured in the listing - I threw the case in for free - resulting in me losing out. i'll happily post it to a UK address for you if you have any UK based family or friends who'll buy it for you?

You're selling yourself short on this jacket, mate! This stunner should go for £250, if you ask me. The Comet is a beast of a jacket and is so easy to wear. If I was a size 44 instead of a 38-40, I'd snap this up in a jiffy.

I snapped it up :) ..... looks like I've got a new bike jacket, armour waiting ( forcefield) ...... now the question is to "Streamliner" or not to "Streamliner" :)

Thanks Rob ... looking forward to it's arrival .

:) armour fitted .... just finishing my quilted liner (40g thinsulate) ( it was a zip in liner from my Scott Leathers Cafe Racer ..... zips removed and awaiting matching 15mm snaps to match up with the jacket).

Fit with the armour ( Forcefield ) is spot on the only minor issue being slightly loose upper arms ( a legacy of the wider sleeve to accomodate the elbow armour ... forearm and cuff are perfect ) will be a bit snug with the back protetor and the liner but sleeves, body and chest are perfect with back protector without the liner ( I'm not a fan of the insurrection fit .. I like to be able to breathe :) ) .

Pics to follow when the liner is finished :)
