motorcycle clothing gear
All leather clothes suitable enough to ride a bike?
Or do you need leather clothes that are specifically made as motorcycle gear?
i.e. I have a leather jacket, and I can get leather pants. Will these give me enough protection incase I get into an accident on my motorcycle? Or do I need to go buy gear specifically built to be used on a motorcycle?
TIm D and Tinky Winky are right. I have leather pants for wearing as fashion items, but I also ride a bike [gotta love my Ducati 
]. There is a world of difference between the two types of leather. My riding leathers are not uncomfortable, but certainly not something I’d wear lounging around the house, whereas my “fashion” leather is nicer than silk for comfort.
I will mention that if you have deep pockets and can afford clothes from Chrome Hearts, Bill Wall or Ari Soffer, you can get close to a riding level of protection from leather that is fantastic to wear and looks great as both riding wear and casual wear. I have one pair of Ari Soffer pants, and while they’re strong enough for riding, I hate the thought of bugs getting squashed into something that expensive Expect to pay from 2- 7 thousand [yes, thousand] for a pair of leather pants from any of those places.
