Agreed - I had a set of one-piece leathers and a set of salopettes made and they are exceptional quality. The leather must be about 2-3mm thick. But unfortunately they hung up their sewing machines a few years ago (or so I heard) - greatly missed. Fantastic quality at sensible prices.

she is J-lo shaped so has a tiny waist in proportion to her hips, a size 16 is snug, but they need to be long in the leg as she is 5'9"

I'll try hideout, i had heard that crowtree had stopped making leathers
