The following system has been developed over ten years with feedback from sponsored racers and helpful customers.
It is designed specifically for motorcycle clothing, so avoid going to a tailor or dressmaker, as they will make assumptions.
Just follow the instructions and you will get it right.
We suggest that you Print this page and perform the measurements off-line.
You can then use this information to fill in the form on-line when you have chosen your style and colours.
You may contact us at any stage if you have a question - you will get an experienced
Tiger Angel clothing maker not an email robot or a salesperson.
