It seems like the only place to purchase one of these tailored fit track styled leather jackets (Spidi for example) is on line. Maybe there's a retailer with a store front somewhere that I don't know bout? Its kind of a bet to be putting down $500 for a jacket that you cannot try on first. Any ideas Comrades?

The local retailer that I know of only carry the ugly sh1t, I refuse to look like someone who just came back from an expedition in the Himalayas on my bike...... no offense but that Michelin Man look is :lolsign:

Man, your in NYC and there are no shops that carry it :eek: Try a motorcycle show. The one here in Montreal had just about everything, and it's a small show. Go early to get the deals and steals.

Got my Joe Rocket leather jacket for 265$ CND no taxes last January when regular price was like 500$ at the time. Saw and tried on a Spidi, was really nice but it was priced at 800$ :eek:

Try Spartan Leathers (http://spartanleathers.com/) Dave has a somewhat of a cult following and sells a great product based on all the happy reviews. He makes one and two piece suits and jackets.

Tilt and Spartan both look real nice for the pricing.

Perhaps you didn't read my inquiry closely?? :confused:+1 on Cycle gear. There is a location in Edison NJ which is only about 40 miles from NYC.

There are also quite a few online stores (including cycle gear). I've ordered stuff (including a leather jacket) from Newenough and leatherup with no issues at all.
