Local SD Shops for leathers?

Jack13 · 05-13-2008, 01:51 PM

I'm in the market for a 2-piece leather suit thanks to the lovely gift from our government.

Can you guys help me out w/suggestions on what shops carry the widest selection of leathers? It's been ~7yrs since I bought a new leather suit, so I want to try on a bunch of different brands to see what the best fit will be.

I'm in Encinitas, so the closer to North County, the better...but not opposed to traveling a bit for a great shop.

Thanks!
Jack

I'd say start at Cycle Gear and go from there.

Check out the big dealerships for selection and fit, then go to Cycle Gear to buy.
