    Guys, I know this thread might seem a bit g4y, but sick of seeing my leathers laid on the bed, so started to look for suitable hangers and found this site. Hoping their wide enough so as not to stretch the leather around the neck area. http://www.bikertidy.com/acatalog/FITTINGS.html

    B@gger, thought my luck was in then sweet pea!
    (Am I allowed to say b@gger)?
    I put my jacket on aplastic one and it started to stretch around the shoulder area leaving lumps.....so thought I'll have a look for something else.....then found the site and realised I'm not the only g4y boy looking to hang his gear up......someone else must be if there's a manufacturer making hangers specifically designed for motorcycle leathers. ;-) xx

    I just got the bloke in the fitting shop to make me one from 6mm bar.
    I then went to the auto sparks, stole some shrink tube slid it on poured a kettle of hot water over it, job done.

    I've bought the full biker tidy couple of years ago with extra hangers gotta say it's a cracking bit of kit. If you've room for one can recommend it and yes the hangers are great for leathers

    I too went with the biker tidy hangers for my leathers, one of the best bits of kit I've bought for something not on the bike. Really Strong and they even do a suit cover that takes a one piece leather suit.

    Really good quality and over time it's well worth the money.

    Guys (and Lozzy) now we've established I'm not the only g4y in the village (nerrr scooby), anyone care to throw a tape measure across the coat hanger and tell me how wide it is, want something that supports under the shoulder pads.

    Cheers

    Mine measures 45cm, that tucks nicely into the shoulders.

    BikerTidy is great, and the combined hanger is spot in for 2 piece leathers/textiles. British company as well.

    @Tonic am out n about at mo ill measure them when I get back mate, however, every jacket we have both leather n textile plus the one pieces fit on them great and that's blokes & ladies sizes..like I said it's brilliant can't recommend it enough. Even when you've laden it down its easy to slide & move about.
