leather alteration or new suit????

[Mike Hayward]

Hey all

Ok I bought my first suit of Ebay not so long ago, Teknic chicane hardly used, mint condition size 44 for a bargain price! anyway i've noticed especially after last nights ride out with cheesemonkey and co the area around the knees and forearms are tight - knees more so.

After getting home last night after about 2-3 hours on the bike my knee caps were burning up! even after a shower laying in bed my knees were really sore and really hot.

I've had a look to see if i can take out the knee protection but no can do, so looking for some advice, the suit fits realy well in length and ok i have a wee belly but not uncomfy here.
I just dunno whether to sell em on and look at another set or do i see if i can get them altered?

Thanks in advance

Pm Gerry to alter them. Though she has sudden;y been swamped after pembrey... I can't think why...

if your happy with the suit then just get gerry to alter yours to fit,she has loads of recommendations from peeps on here plus has a few their now,colins being one funkys i'd imagine was too far damaged to have been repaired

........plus has a few their now,colins being one

What was up with Colins

I can vouch for her quality ... she did a lovely job on my new jacket




Which reminds me, I haven't phoned her to say how well it fits and how great a job she did Thanks Gerry

think his legs were too short the suit so gerry shortening the legs on the suit

Wrong my friend, sent pictures of the damage off to Gerry and here magical needle and thread gave me an awesome price, just need to send them down to her.

She's a legend

I tried some Teknic suits when I was after a new one-piece and found there sizing completely out to other brands. I ended up getting a Berik suit from J&S and am well chuffed with it.
