After about two months of searching, my quest for leather riding gear on the cheap has come to fruition and by dumb luck, things happened to match. Picked up the jacket new on Ebay a few months ago for $113 and found that Motorcycle Closeouts had leather pants in my size on sale for $130 - so for about $250, my body is now covered in dead cow and loving it.

Unfortunately, even though they are the same brand, the TT jacket has a 360 degree jacket-to-pant zipper while the Apex pants have the zipper just on the backside. Looks like it's time to break out the sewing kit. I've found that there seems to be no standardization with zipper direction either across varying brands. Can the manufacturers get together and work this out?!?
