pt, that last comment has always has me wondering also.
perhaps its in the curing.
so many friggin kangaroos, aussie should have its own bloody brand.

now that an idea!!

these are all very good questions.

to answer the most comman :
we will not be able to supply brands - its one brand only.

you have a choice of kangaroo or cow leather. ventilated or non-ventilated. race or touring fit too. choice also of style & colour design from a template. so sorry folks, no elvis or superman suits.

yes, approved ce armour. you een have a choice of no hump, small, or large hump. (let the coments fly with that one!!)

what if you walked into a bike shop, & you liked the look of a (lets say) alpinestars suit. but you wanted it in a custom fit suit?
the fitter measured you up.
he recorded every concievable measurement of your body.
you chose your style, & colours.
you paid & deposit & were told when you could pick up the complete product when balance of payment were required.
would you do that? i would.

THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED IS THE SAME AS WHAT ANY PROFESSIONAL TAILOR OR FITTER WOULD USE. IN FACT, THERE ARE MORE REQUIREMENTS HERE AS WE HAVE TO BE VERY VERY SURE OF FIT.

this is the exact same scenario, except we have removed the physical store & repalced it with a virtual one. (but with a real product!!)

we would obviously have to provide potential buyers opportunities to see, touch & feel the end product. obvioulsy on ride days & club events!

the brand will also be promoted with sponsered racers in our own domestic series. this will provide the ultimate tests.

All sounds good but how far into the future are we talking, only asking because I am looking at purchasing at the moment.

One of the things affecting the cost of Roo hide is that there is very little market for other products from the animal. The roo meat trade is very small.

Whereas the cattle trade is HUGE in Aus, everything from dairy to meat, to other less tasty products. And cows are easier to handle/farm.
