Its been ten years since I've been right into Mel-Borne, Elizabeth St was the place to go.

Tiger Angel do custom made leathers. The shop is in West Melbourne. Not cheap though.  Not sure where most people shop.  I live in the country so most of my shopping is done online but I guess Elizabeth st is a starting place.  Mars leathers are still there.

Peter Stevens has a clearance store around the corner from their main shop. Sometimes has great deals there. As a clearance store though, can be a little hit & miss with stock, but well worth a look.

I know you are in Melbourne atm but you cant go past these in Sydney.

I bought a 1 piece suit for my Husband last week while we were in Sydney and was $409 delivered to Perth.

Plenty of bargains to be had and the 2 piece suits were the same price.
Huge range of sizes and specials on Helmets, Gloves, Jackets etc

AMX are cheap bike gear warehouses http://www.amxoutlets.com/. They have a large range of leathers and helmets etc. They are a chain so have a few shops spread around depending upon where you are staying.

Well I thoguht the store was very small compared to the Perth Store and didnt have as much gear, in saying this I got a bargin of the century!

one black and one red pair of Puma V2 Boots for $200.00!!!1  it took a a day for the guy to sort it out for me but he did and is a total champ!!!


I also got a 2 peice Dainese Suit and Gloves for $1100 delivered to Perth so at the moment Im doing very well, lol

Now im off to the first day of the F1!!!

The Melbourne store does have some good specials but they are usually odd sizes, mainly S and Ladies fittings. For some reason all the XL and XXL stuff goes real quick, I'm not sure what that says about their clientele?

[RRossi]

here is a pic of the boots I scored, I still cant belive it!!!


$200 for both pairs!!!  amazing!!!
