The coat I can hang on the back of a chair.
The pants I'm having a hard time coming up with a place to keep them. I need ideas.
How do you story your 2pc leathers?
I use heavy duty hangers with metal hooks.
Do your leather pants have hanger loops on the inside, right around the waist area on both left and right sides?
Or if someone knows something like these guys state-side...

Don't they zip together?
Put the legs through a hanger, folded above the knees.
I use a thick plastic hanger.
Put your jacket on a hanger, back of a chair isn't very good.
Mine are Dainese, they zip together but it's just the liner.
There are no loops in the pants.
They do zip together but its a major pita to zip them when I'm not in them.
All my leather Jackets and leather Pants came on heavy plastic hangers .
So I hang the Jackets in a large walk in Closet and the Pants I do like said earlier , fold them and put them through the hanger past the Knees and then hang them in the Closet w. the Jackets.

Basically the same - though I have a heavy metal hanger from Vanson that's intended for pants. It's good thick bar, bent to a straight section with a small kick up at the end so you can just slide the pants on. Much easier than trying to thread it though a bar on a normal hanger.
Jackets go on a chunky wood hanger that I picked up at the Container Store.

Do you mean store them long term? (like i store my 1 piece leather during the off season) or everyday?
Off season, i just fold the pants at the knees and bend at the waist for the 1 piece, and cross the arms, throw it in a trash bag, throw some dehumifier silicone packs and shove it in the basement.
For my everyday jacket i just throw it on the hanger it came with and hang it where i hang my jacket and jeans.
Every day.
Long term I zip the together and hang the in a closet.
i used to toss mine on the chair, but then i made a conscious effort to hang it. and ive been doing it ever since. It becomes 2nd nature.
now if i can only get myself to do that with my keys, i woudlnt be playing "where are you hiding" every morning.
But i also wear textile for everyday so its not like leather that takes shape.
heavy duty wood hangers
my pants have loops that go onto a hangar
best to hang them where they can air out so your sweat clears out.
Right after you ride , take a wet sponge and wipe out the inside of you leathers , then towel dry them off ...gets rid of the sweat .
Allow them to air dry for a day or 2 , don't hang up damp leather, you can get mold or mildew started.
