Yeah I've still got them but the front zip gave way to the increasing pressure of my belly at Brands Hatch a few weeks ago. As it was so bloody hot I was too sweaty to get into my spare leathers (which are a bit snug) and missed the last session.
have to say that they are the most comfortable leaters i have ever owned and fitted me great and survived a couple of offs very well - made by Swift.
Have still got my spare leathers (Texport) but have just bought another set a size bigger than my usual to accomodate my back and chest protector for use on track days. Quality is amazing and they are super comfy - made by Prexport (in fact they are the same lathers that Jack frost is wearing on teh 250mph Busa in last months PB).

Just a thought ... I know someone who does leather repairs/alterations ... she's very good, from new zips/moving them to full resizing. Down in Plymouth so not easy for you to get to, but I'm sure with decent measurements she'd be fine if you just need zips replaced or an inch added here and there

I did look into having them repaired but a full length zip replacement is at least £50 and by the time you factor in £30 of postage and the fact that they were old and crashed in and the lining was a bit ripped etc etc it was a good excuse to buy a new set! I got the Prexport pair off ebay for less than a £100 and they are as new.
Does your friend do names on leathers? How much per letter?
