    Default Women's textiles

    Hello, anyone got any womens textiles? I'm looking for a jacket and trousers for my girlfriend. Summer's here and we're planning on doing some cruising around the highlands. Last year she wore some of my stuff but it's all a bit ill-fitting and baggy, so she wants her own.

    She's a size 10-12. I'd like to say I knew her waist measurement etc but that piece of information was shunted out by the optimum plate voltage for an EL34 valve in Marshall style amplifier.

    Anyway, we're poor so we're aiming for the bottom end of the market - £50 each or so?

    Thanks
    Craig

    The BMF = British Motorcycle Federation

    The BMF show = a show in Peterborough, about 1000 exhibitors attend selling off last years gear at knock down prices

    full details of both are found here http://www.bmf.co.uk

    Get up there for the weekend, camp over on the Sat night, drink so bevvies, see a few bands, have a good time


    Oh have just noticed you are in Scotland, try the BMF Kelso showe as well

    Nice one.

    The Kelso show looks a bit easier to get to!

    You just missed the Edinburgh show. Although last year there was hardly any wimmens gear, so didn't bother going back down this year.

    If she is just riding pillion, a pair of thick combats and some good waterproofs from Blacks or Millets should be ok. (and much cheapness)

    Try your local gumtree and local bike forums too

    No need, if she's going out with YGH, she already has quite a thick skin.
