I can also do interest free (no catches) over 6 months on any purchase over £280, including sale items.

I have most colours and sizes in stock so if you need new leathers drop by a have a look, address is:

Hein Gericke

Regards,

Adam.

How long is the sale on for? I'm thinking of getting a set of Alpinestars leathers (2 piece), have got prices from V&J's and Bransons in Yeovil. Just may need a couple of weeks to get ££££

At the moment I have been told that it will run until the end of the month, but it really depends on stock levels. We have sold 4 Arlen Ness suits today already which is very unusual for a wednesday. If there is sufficient stock they may extend it, but they won't tell me until the end of the month. restock availability is very good at the moment though.

We also have a 'buy-jacket-get-the-trousers-free' promo on selected Hein Gericke 2 peice suits which is a very good deal as you get a £320 suit for £170.

Fragmities, I have the Alpinestars Octane 2 peice suit down from £529.99 to £399.99, also got the Arlen Ness 2 peice suit down from £499.99 to £399.99.

I have a Gericke 2 piece in the buy jacket get trousers free promo that goes up to size 60, but in 1 piece 58 is the biggest. It might be worth your while popping in to try a few on though, as different manufacturers use different cuts, so the Arlen Ness or Alpinestars may have a more generous fit than your current HG suit. That said the current HG 1 piece may also be a different fit to yours - it's worth a try and you've got nothing to lose.

Alternatively I have sent several people to LWR Jerry for suit alterations and seen the results, very impressive - you wouldn't even know they'd been altered, and at reasonable cost, so all is not lost.

might pop in on friday and say hello then adam

May also wander over first thing Friday, what time do you open? Jon.

sorry to hijack but do you know if Jerry can do zip stuff as just about every single on has bust on my jacket?

You're more than welcome chaps, always nice to put a face to a name, we open at 9am on Friday. See you then.

Is this in all Hein Gericke shops or just yours? Dont particularly want to go all that way!

It is a company wide sale, however not all Hein Gericke shops carry the same stock. Taunton is the only store in the South West region to have the full range of Arlen Ness and Alpinestars. Plymouth do have limited Arlen Ness stocks, but not the 2008 range.

What time are open saturday there are no times on the web site

We're open 9am - 6pm Mon - Fri (except Weds when we open at 10am), 9am - 5pm Sat and 10am- 4pm Sun.

Sorry about the website, it's been under development for years, it is getting better, but it's still not what it should be, if you ever want any info it's better to call the shop or pm me

I should be in the shop from about 10am tomorrow, going in late as I've got to wait in for an insurance assessor after my [Censored] bath plumbing leaked and pissed water through the ceiling in my bloody kitchen last week

Ho hum, such is life.....
