i got a full black mesh leather jacket haha so far did what u mentioned above, soak in cold water with very mild soap.. no fadding of color just that the perforated leather starts to crack a bit
im thinking of maintaining 2 sets of riding gear, short ride with mesh leather jacket and pants, and if going for long distance ride with perforated leather jacket/pants.. just about to invest in either the Dainese Avro Div 2-pc leather suit or the RS Taichi GMX Motion Vented Leather jacket and its combining GMX Motion Vented Leather pants.. but having a hard time choosing between this 2

For me, not need leather jacket for short distance ride. Decent mesh jacket will be enough. I still ride with only mesh jacket at 10deg cool season. Better save for a good leather suit.
No comments for 2 pcs suit but IMO, it never better as 1 pcs suit. Dainese or Alpinestar is always preferred brand. Check at local store. There are too many range to choose. If really serious, get the replica
Many custom made and tailor to size available at the market. And most popular supplier if not mistaken is from Pakistan or India. They supply to our local dealer and you can custom anyway you like. Just be aware that they might use synthetic or artificial leather. Quality wise im not sure. My friend bought a custom jacket and he seems feel regret about the quality. Price is the winner.
I use Alpinestar Tech 1-R leather suit. Good deal from Paksu@Mecinda including Alpinestar 1 pcs inner suit. And i have GP R air jacket bought from online. So far, it is the best for me.
