Handmade waistcoats / cut-offs

[MrC]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend someone who makes really good quality leather waistcoats / cut-offs.

All the ready mades seem a bit crappy now. My last one is falling apart after years of service!

Cheers

They make the stuff so if you go see them and get measured I'm sure they can sort you out.

Brilliant place. My son bought an ex-racing leather one piece. Very thick leather, none of the £500 wafer thin jobies, at only £250. At this price, they would also have altered it if it didn't fit. When he'd finished with it, he sold it to a mate, who was then knocked off his bike, slid across two carriageways and hit some bollards. Result (apart from written-off Gsxr-600) a few bruises and a ripped back muscle.
Dobbs are the best in Northampton and will hand build anything to your specs in leather.

Hi,

Agreed they (Dobbs) sound fantastic, but unfortunately I am in York (152 miles away) :(

They say on their website that they will only make one-offs for people that they measure up themselves in person, otherwise I would be getting them to make me a waistcoat without any doubt.

Many thanks for the info though.
