    Is it your company? Cool!

    You have every right to comment. Just be upfront about your vested
    interest, and your comments would still be valuable.

    For me, now it would feel more like buying from your "local" store :)
    I've a decent, but ill-fitting "bikie" style jacket I got for free that
    is on the list for an upgrade!

    So how do the custom fittings work? We mail you at the relevant addy on
    the 'Contacts' page, then you mail us with where we have to go to meet
    someone with a tape measure, then 4-6 weeks later we go back to the same
    place and pick it up? Are these places likely to have stock we could
    look at?

    I note the winter liners are considered an "optional extra" - is this
    because the jackets have a decent "weight" already, and the liner is
    needed only in the Arctic? Or do the jackets breathe so well they are
    almost summer jackets without it?

    Oh - and the main page has "garantee" :)

    Mark.

    I've heard that the Baron himself comes around to your house late at night,
    takes your inside leg measurement, sends out for a pizza and some beer, then
    takes your inside leg measurement again :)

    Then builds in special elastic to account for the difference in measurement?

    Woo hoo, I'm sold - where to I sign?

  8. Only cool when its making me money, otherwise its not so fab :p
    Mate this is ausmoto, you dont post nuthin unless you wanna be flamed :p
    I do try and look after ausmotions.
    We have distributors in Syd, Bris, Melb, Canberra (nearly) and Ballarat. Yes
    call them to meet, they will have examples for you to see, feel, try on.
    Then we size you up, you pay a 50% deposit (to stop tyre kickers and order
    cancellers) and around 5-6 weeks later (because of added security and Xmas
    etc - slows down the air freight system) we call you again to try it on. If
    it fits - great, you pay the remaining 50% and we are done, if it doesnt fit
    (about 2-5% of the time) we make arrangements to repair at our expense or
    replace at our expense.
    Most of our items are decidely summer weight, experience from the riders
    says they are relatively cool to wear on hot days but most in the range are
    manageable without a winter liner except the street - which is very cool and
    will need a liner for anything less than 20 degrees outside - unless you
    like frozen nipples.
    Thanks for picking that up, will fix it right away, after this scotch.
