Title: Kobe (The Moto gear company not the city or Bryant)
Post by: He Man on October 05, 2009, 10:57:57 AM
After a few weeks and 2 emails, they just sent me an UPS sticker to send the suit back to them for inspection. They aren't going to repair it, but they want to take a look at the suit.

I thought the company had a sell'em and ditch'em policy but I was wrong! They are at the very least willing to look at the suit so they can improve their design!


Awesome!

depends on your body type. 38 is a tight on my chest and waist, but it had extra leather on the legs.
