I am what could politely be termed 'generously proportioned' and have had problems and disappointments when sourcing riding kit. I have made a couple of useless trips to shops which have a great web presence, only to find that they have nothing to fit me despite their claims that items are in stock.
However, I took a trip to this place:
http://www.jtsbikerclothing.com
and was very impressed by every aspect of the business. It is just a few minutes away from Junction 22 of the M1. The staff are very friendly and have great product knowledge. A lot of their gear is made on the premises, and there is a superb selection in all sizes. I bought a leather jacket and after a couple of months one of the press studs broke. On Sunday afternoon I was going to be passing the shop, so I dropped in; the jacket was whisked into the factory to have new stud fitted and back two minutes later with apologies. That is what I call good service. Their stock is attractively priced, as there is no profit for a middle-man.
I have no connection with this business, other than being one of their satisfied customers. I will not go anywhere else for my riding gear from now on.
