RICHA Two Piece Motorcycle Suit Racing Mens Jacket UK 48 Trousers 36 Was £580
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at
Please take a couple of minutes to read the description all the way to the end - the suit is near perfect and this is a very good price for this model but it's still an expensive item so definitely worth making sure you check sizing below before you make a decision!
The racing suit in the photos is the one that you'll recieve. It's a few years old but was worn sparingly so still in very good condition (details below). I've done some research on it and I'm pretty sure this model is the predecessor of the current Barracuda (it was originally purchased for £580 so their top spec model at the time)
Richa have been designing and manufacturing the highest quality motorcycle gear for over seventy years now. Each decade came with hundreds of incremental design improvements and they now stand at the pinnacle of the field (used to be Belstaff but they're now a fashion brand owned by Prada). You know you'll be getting a top spec suit whichever model you get but this is one of the favorites. No flashy colours or bling logos - just a nice, simple black leather with some gunmetal and silver trim - it's a really cool suit!
The suit itself comes in two parts that connect with a zip at the waist. Its been double hand stitched so it will never fall apart and has all the appropriate padding. The jacket will need hard Armour (available on ebay for a few pounds) but the trousers have knee and hip Armour already inserted.
The suit is a fitted, pre-curved model and the labels state it's a 48 inch jacket and 36 inch trousers. As you know, there is some stretch/flex to leather. I've measured all aspects of the suit so please take some time to compare with one of your own to ensure a perfect fit. As a registered business seller we accept all returns without question (apart from international) but this is a massive and very heavy item. Shipping it back and forth is a hassle for both of us - it's a lot easier to get it right first time!

Condition
This is the best part! The suit is obviously a few years old and definitely shows signs of use...but it's a Richa, as mentioned above one of the best quality suits on the market! There's the odd scuff here and there (nothing that won't polish out if you need it pristine) but absolutely no loose stitching, no rips or tears, no heavily worn patches (very rare on a used racing suit) and all the zips are present and working perfectly. It's certainly not mint/new but if thats what you're after just pay the extra £400 and buy a new one! If you can live with a few scuffs this is definately the best option on the market!
Overall, I'd give it a 9/10. Structurally perfect with a few cosmetic marks
