Hi All, I need your help here ...... I've got to get new set of leathers - im going custom this time & trying to choose between SCOTT leathers & GIMOTO Do you have any advice / experience / heard of anything along the grape vine about either ?
From what I have read Scott service is shite. I remember on a couple of other forums people ordering them and having to travel to the factory and bang on the door after months of being put off about when they would be ready. They ended up cancelling them. Got a virtually new used once £1200 Dainese suit belonging to a mate that I am selling, size uk42, £495
I've got off the shelf Dianese leathers, but I have had a Scott leather jacket for many years. Not sure what they're like now, but my jacket is proper old school - heavy, thick and totally bomb proof.
Got to say exact opposite as far as Scott goes....two suits, great service nothing but helpful in my experience. Quality suits off the peg as such...not MTM
I have had 2 pairs of Scott Venom pants and one Venom jacket, Jacket is about 8 years old and for its age looks really good, top quality and materials. I got the second pair of pants after I stopped eating all the pies, again top quality and they feel substantial. I had to have the neoprene stretch panels at the side of the waist of the second pair of pants replaced by Joyda leather as they are local (ish) to me as it split after 4 years Still using them and very happy with the quality I bought all these from Scott Leathers at NEC as they did a deal on price There was bad publicity with then a few years back with the MTM stuff, not in the quality but in order completion
yeah, i read that too iang which is why i put the post up to see what others know - and of course travelling to the factory when im in australia is going to be impossible to pull off - what size waist (in inches) is a size 44 ?
hey JM - cant get off the shelf dainese because im a short ass - yeah, i thought scott had good quality but heavy isnt what im looking for - being in australia with high summer temps im needing perforated straight up and good tear proof leather - what what i see the old scott leathers customer service isnt great - thanks for your imput.
hey lillywhites - thats good to know, but sadly i cant get "off the shelf" stuff - i need tailor made being a short ass and all but im glad to hear you had a great experience - thanks for your imput - i wander if anyone has info on GImoto ?
hey griz - thanks for your imput - seems scott have good quality, just seem to be slow & slack with custom stuff - hahaha about the second set, im hearing you matey, and can relate - in relation with joyda, id love to drop in and check them out but im in australia so its a problem - you guys in the UK have it much better than here in oz when it comes to leathers - thanks for your imput, i appreciate it.
