Evel Knievel ? what would you use
« on: July 22, 2012, 03:13:46 PM »
As a child of the 70's I can't help but loves me some Evel Knievel.     So... for Halloween, I am going to have a leather suit made.

What weight leather would be good ?     I may end up getting a jacket and pants separate, so I could wear the jacket elsewhere.

Any suggestions ?

I really like Halloween.  I'm working on a trade (I have an old industrial sewing machine) for the suit.

Just want it to be entirely and utterly bad-ass.
