Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust enough to win, Woof.

I've always found that served me best at auctions

Cheers, SB

I was thinking of throwing something at the wall and seeing if it sticks.

don't need them but Mrs. Woof did the listing and alerted me to the auction

Well the cheapest set of full leathers I bought secondhand were $100 AUD and the most expensive (new) $800 AUD.

I'd wait until the auction was nearly over. And Frank Thomas is quite a good brand as well.

Cheers, SB

Matching leather jacket and pants is a good deal. If that's your size, go for at least $50. I wore jeans for years until I bought some leather pants. Now that's all I wear, and I have 4 pairs for different temps.

Surprisingly, I lost weight around my waist and my wife was able to add velcro to the belts to make it tighter. She said don't gain weight as it's pretty much impossible to add material at the waist.

Frank Thomas aren't too bad quality wise.

Prefer my black Hein Gericke though, they're so comfortable. They have the Hyprotec armour which is flexible, so the hard armour in the Frank Thomas pants seems very restrictive to me.

Just depends what you're used to though.

Had a Frank Thomas jacket. It came with my bike purchase. It was a well built thing but it was one of the old padded ones.

Made me look like a character from a Mad Max movie

I have a Frank Thomas jacket as does my wife.

That suit is worth $100 of my money every day !
If it was plain black I'd be bidding too as it'd fit me !
