free leathers?

Post by shredex »

yes...indeed.
I just got a free 1-piece leather suit.
never heard of AGV sport.
its main color is red and it has white and black parts.
its old school but hey, it was free.
its size 56...I dont know how they size.
its to big on me...baggy...
if I measure from the top of my foot to my shoulders its 56"...the suit is 61" long.
so I guess I need a size 51? idk.
Im 5'9" 130lb's...
chest is 36"
waist is 25 1/2" - 26"
im gonna see if anyone has to small of leathers they can trade me.

That's cool you got some free leathers. How did you do that?

I'm not sure what size you need. I have a difficult time fitting jackets and pants that sized like these normally are. My body size needs a 46 for jackets, but because I have long arm span and wide shoulders I wear a 50. It is a little loose in the waist, but if I didn't get this size the sleeves would stop half way up my forearm. I almost got a set last summer that would fit perfictly after I got the waist taken in a little, but the price was a little too high when I started looking at alterations.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

The dude im helping build his zx9r fighter was cleaning his closet and needed room.
its his old suit from a 10 day trip he had. he doesnt fit them anymore so he handed it over to me. :) awesome dude...he owns a marthal arts weapon combat school thing called "RiskTaker Services".
he is an ex Marine

The suit is way to baggy on me.
I posted something on the r1-forum to see if anyone had a smaller size they would be willing to trade

Go to a good seamstress and see how much to alter the suit-and if he/she won't take the job on ask her who will.

For free...an AGV sport is a damn good deal. If you have to spend $75 to have it fitted it would be well worth it.

I think a sizing job would cost more. this suit is thick and has a many seems and a innner liner with many seems.
I might just sell it and get this suit instead

Just a suggestion. You would be amazed at how cheap that stuff is. AGV is top shelf stuff, I would prefer it to Topgear. I had my old Bates suit 'let out' including new panels a the sides of the jacket portion, and a new panel at the waist where it zipped together(and a new zipper) for $60 by our local boot repair shop.

Or you could sell it and use the money to buy a riding jacket. What do you need a 1 piece for anyway?
