Bates custom Atlas/Competition

I am really considering a custom cafe racer from Bates.
Does anyone here have any experience with the Bates custom experience or the leather choices there??

I got a pair of Fast Lane boots from them about ten years ago. The process was quick (3-4 weeks) and they were amenable to my tweaks, but it wasn't a complex order by any means. I still have the boots.

The smurfy cafe racer arrived btw. Thanks!

Thank you.
And enjoy!!!!
Great color in the sunlight and subdued inside.

@sweetfights, I tried emailing them 2 or 3 times about 2 years ago. I was kinda contemplating a jacket, but nothing serious. They never responded, so I picked up my Schott 618HH. I tried calling them Friday a few times. No answer, and the message said to send an email. I hope they are still in business! Looks like they have some awesome jackets. Not much action here on the forum compared to other makers. Hope you make some progress.
