UPDATE
** I can no longer recommend this seller in Pakistan--- Quality issues have surfaced in recent orders*
**
Hey guys, not sure how many of you use/wear/like leather race replica jackets/suits for your bikes, but I thought Id share my recent experience on a seller from Pakistan.
Back Story - When I got my little Repsol CBR125R, it came with a full set of Repsol leathers (jacket, pants, boots etc). PO told me about the place he got them and raved about the value, quality and about the integrity of the Leather seller in Pakistan. Ive also seen the suits after a track day spill and they certainly did the job for the guy.
I'd been looking at them on Ebay for long time, but was a bit sceptical to be honest, so I just never ordered or bought any. plus there were so many sellers, which one to try or trust??.
Since the PO of my CBR had tried one or two sellers , he gave me the number of the fellow who he buys from exclusively now.
I decided to buy a "FIAT" Yamaha ROSSI jacket to match my 2010 Rossi R1, to give this guy a try. I texted him, sent all my measurements (he provides a measurement sheet and instructions) via an email to him and sent payment via PayPal. 12 days later my FIAT Yamaha Rossi Jacket arrived ----WOW !!!! Quality was sooooo good.
Next I decided to buy 3 more, Rossi Petronas Sprinta, a Rossi Nastro Azzuro and a Rothmans Honda, sent the payment via Etransfer to get a lower cost on the jackets and 12 days later, all 3 arrived at my door again -- WOW !!!
7 days to make them , 5 days to ship via DHL. Depending on time of year and how busy they are it can take longer.
Seller is honest and great communication, very nice guy.
Anyway if you're interested PM me and ill send you his contact details, some of his stuff (not all ) is on Forcegear.co (not .com). Im in no way affiliated with seller, just a satisfied customer. I wont post his contact info on the thread here as some forums dont like info for non paying vendors being posted.
Options (no extra cost):
Perforated Leather fronts - or regular leather
Back Hump - or not
Change logos and colours as you wish
Liners included
Zippers to attach pants
External armour is optional, as is the internal armour
They also make full Suits, or separate pants. make boots and gloves too.

While you can customize his styles any way you like, I have also created 3 jackets from scratch, of my own design that were not in his inventory at all. Same price.
Next I will design a Retro Kawasaki jacket to go with the 1990 ZX7
These jackets are ~$250US. + or -
here are some of mine, I have 15 jackets now, 2 pairs of pants (which I designed) and 2 pairs of gloves from this seller.
I wear the leather pants and jackets almost exclusively, I wear separate body armour for chest and back as well as the internal armour that's in the jackets. Ive been down on a bike and I wear as much protection as I can, regardless of the weather.
I wear this with my ZRX1100, He has lots of Kawasaki choices
Custom Valentino Rossi "Grazie Vale" retirement tribute jacket. My design, Yamaha on one sleeve and Honda on the other
