Hi Kel,
This is Ashley's (Donaldson) Dad . I just read your post to Ashley on ASRA and thought I would fill you in on the story.
Ashley is currently in Europe competing in the IGSA World Cup for downhill skateboarding.
Sometime before he left he looked into a new set of leathers, and in his investigations found Tiger Angel in Victoria. After several phone conversations he decided to go with their product instead of the more popular NJK leathers which are worn by most of the top international skaters, working on exchange rates and the "made in Australia" thing. On receipt of the leathers though they were
nowhere near the expectations of what the product should be, because of fit (WAY too big) and quality of leather used( surface dyed not drum dyed ).Many phone calls followed and eventually a refund was organised and received.
How the "desperate junkie " got hold of the leathers I would not hazard to guess, but let your reader know that if they fit and they don't mind my sons name being on them, as far as we aware they are not stolen and they can go on wearing them in confidence .
For interests sake, here is a link

Sorry it took so long for you to get a reply to your E-Mail but I hope this helps to sort out some questions.
Regards
