i've recently decided that instead of buying my first car to buy a motorcycle; cheaper & ALOT more mpg.
but, the thing is most jackets &boots a person would wear for safety precautions are all leather.
Are there any fashionable leather like alternatives with the same level of protection ?
Or, even better does anyone kno a custom tailor who could do a jacket in pleather ? (id want my jacket to be a custom for sure)
I saw a few cute motorcycle style leather-like jackets on urbanoutfitters.com recently~
Motoport.com offers motorcycle apparel.They speak highly about a synthetic product called Kevlar which is stronger and lasts longer than leather. I wonder if anyone makes shoes in this material yet....hmmm.
thank you :)
i like the urban outfitters one
but, are there any place i can have to jacket custom made ?
&what bout the boots?
You're bewy welcome :)....ohh--yeahh--i think they have several kind of veg. boots too. Try Zappos.com too-they have many!!
ps---hmmmm-not sure about where u can have the jacket custom made though.....
I think i saw a few veggie boots on urbanoutfitters.com.....
found great boots :)
thank you so much !
i keep hunting for a jacket maker tho.. maybe a costume maker could do it..
I also ride and I have an Alpine Star jacket with the body armor that isn't leather so they will be a good place to check. Unfortunately, I just wear my sneakers when I ride or an old pair of hiking boots so I am no help there. Sorry.
You're very welcome :))-I hope u guys found something that you like :)
