Leathers tucked in or out?

[RACER X]

my boots wouldn't zip closed w/ my leathers tucked in, had the leathers altered to go overthe boot.

You sir are gambling with your very LIFE!!! That leather might roll up over your leg, or catch an edge or who knows what other worst case, unlikely, and improbable scenario!!!

You will know if they are intended to be tucked in or out. A vast majority are to be tucked in, and a select few like Dainese will be out.

I have a RS Taichi EVO Viper and it will not fit OVER the boots. It was designed to fit UNDER the boots. Is it better than over the boots leathers?...I don't know. I have done my research and spent my money as needed. Dainese has outstanding products, shoot I have a Dainese Jacket...which is exactly what I wanted in an every day leather jacket.

TIGGER, read this and pay attention to the last paragraph:

Well if Kenny (who the fuck is that?) Pryde says so.... Look I never said anything bad about RST. Shit, when I was doing track days they either didn't exist or they weren't exporting to the US. I've had Technics, Dainese and Kushitani suits. I have a Joe Rocket jacket and pants. I even still have some A* and Icon stuff floating around here. I've owned Vanson, AGV, Hans Gerieke, Fieldsheer, Spidi and some other bullshit I can't think of right now. Fuck I own at least 10 jackets right now, I think... I'm not even sure. Who cares? The question is, whether there is some "safety reason" as your buddy has implied, to not have your leather pants outside your boots and I say, no there isn't. The rest of this is bull shit. Because by the way it's going now, if RST made pants that went outside the boots THEN it would be acceptable!

Ditto, ditto, and ditto. Love my BB suit and many boot manuf. now have majorly adjustable calf areas. I have Vertigo Leis and they actually fit over my ober thick leathers.

teh vert IIs had adj calves, and i maxed them. currently my sidis are "street" oriantated, and i can barely get the velcro to stick together, esp. after being at a desk for 12 hrs.

Did you specifically ask him to make your suit fit over the boots?

If not, that's a major FAIL on his part for not sizing your suit correctly. Didn't you give him measurements of everything?

BB is totally custom. I think he is complaining about his boots being too tight. BB does use VERY thick leather though so that makes it hard when you have big calves.
