I want to buy my husband a father's day gift and am not sure where to look.
I'm thinking of some kind of tall, freestanding cabinet to go in the garage that he can hang his leathers in for storage. Possibly with a shelf on the top to put his helmets, and maybe with wheels and vents for airflow.
Does anyone have something like this or know where to find one? I've looked at Sears, Home Depot, and Lowe's and they are all falling short.
Thanks!
So....a locker?

Take it to a local shop and have it painted. [thumbsup]

How have I never known about this site? I'm going to need a bigger garage.
a locker isn't totally accurate, I am thinking more along the lines of something in heavy duty plastic, not metal. And probably about 3-4' wide.
Steve, $280 is a bit steep for a locker, no?
Sorry, not really related, but watch for sumpin special when the pictures change...

That one is great! I can adjust the shelves on it to hold his leathers. Sweet! [thumbsup]

I did my whole garage with this stuff. Very solid... built well. I have the above "locker" with wheeels. It has adjustable shelves to suit any configuration.
I added some more interior hooks for jackets. In it right now I have.. 1 helmet, a shelf full of 6 pairs of gloves, 3 jackets, 2 pairs of boots, bike cover, battery charger, cable lock and some other little things.
I got mine throught my local Sears store.

I have this one in my garage. It's currently got nothing in it (father-in-law just dropped it off as he doesn't need it anymore). I can attest that it is lightweight and easy to move. It will have stuff in it soon.
