Brett, if you guys do a bulk order let me know and I'll prob. jump in on one of those jackets... If you or anyone is looking at them ask them if a XL is similar size to a Kwaka XL??? di that make sense? LOL

Oh and where are they located? is it anywhere near the Gold Coast?

Cheers

Why do people think that the Gold Coast is the be all and end all of QLD?

I'm not in a position to buy anything at the moment but will be interested to hear what the quality is like as I am looking to buy a one-piece at some stage.

Ive heard many people say that there is nothing significant in QLD other than the gold coast.... is that not true?

ok guys fired off an email last night recieved the response today good start to get a response so quickly so things might be good going to give michael my contact number and see if he comes through if he does i will take some piccies and post them on this thread and question him as to what he can do for us

Hi John,

An endorsement would be great

Brown Bear Leather is an e-store only so we do not have a shopfront. As all orders are placed as we receive them we do not keep any products in stock (it helps keep our prices down as we don’t need to pay for extra storage or products that may not sell).
However if you can provide a contact phone number and let me know what area you are in I may be able to organise to bring some products to show you when the next lot of customer orders come in (due this Friday)

If you have any other questions about any of our products please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Michael

Sulli, I may have missed it somewhere but seeing as they are ordered by them after we place an order, What is the turn around time????

I'll get T to measure me up for a fat barstard sizing just incase the guy turns out to be genuine...

I'll be in for a jacket for sure.

cheers
