I have a lot of trouble getting leather trousers or any biking trouser for that matter, I'm 5'6" and FAT!
Most of the stuff has the crotch hanging around my knees and the knee pads on my shins!!
This morning due to technical difficulties I was not able to get to work at the usual time, in fact it took me over three hours to do 18 miles, I ended up at J&S Accessories where I managed, very quickly, to find a pair of trousers that fitted me nicely along with a pair of leather that also fitted me fairly well. I plumped for the textile waterproof ones as I have a textile jacket too so they should go together well.
At £180 they're not cheap but I have no other options really being short and fat (a bit like Ernie Wise!) the leather were the same price but I would have needed another new jacket to go with them at £220!
I still have my old leathers and will be loosing weight soon so may be able to get back into them again in the summer!!
Anyone else have problems in the clothing department and what stores are better for odd shapes??
