Motorbike Leathers - stitching concern

[hammer5]

Ola!

I have these new leathers made by Prospeed which are an Italian company with apparently a good reputation. I've had these now for a week and i guess wore them for say 10hrs give or take and the stitching has come away on the pocket/zip. What concerns me is after reading about stitching here before i bought them i tried ensure they were of a strong stitch, to which i was ensured they were.

Can you have a look at the images and give your opinion?

Much appreciated.

If its only been worn a week can you not take it back? Im sure the stitching shouldn't be like that? *yes im trying to be useful *

Abit of my stitching on my gloves and stuff has flared up but nothing serious.

The stitching has come away on the pocket which is not a major issue, some bonded nylon thread will fix that, its the singular stitching on the rest of the suit has has me a little concerned... As and when i come off i don't want it falling apart.

It feels solid enough so maybe a little paranoid due to the pocket, everything else looks perfect as i have gone over it, its just the single line of stitching as i thought it was meant to be double?

I personally would take them/it back and buy something else.

I had the same issue with my HG jacket, It was about a year old but they still took it back and re-stiched it for me! Did you get em off the tinternet or from a shop? I wouldn't bother trying to fix it yourself, presumably you paid a fair amount for em so it shouldn't be down to you to repair em!!

~I got them off the internet and they are pretty much perfect for my weird body shape, the 7 day distance selling period is over so its down to good manners and good business sense, i've just emailed them stating my worries and will see what they return with.

I've stitched the zip back into the pocket and its better than ok, maybe it was just 'one of them' that happens, maybe the machinist had a bad day.

The goods still have to be of satisfactory quality, irrespective of the distance selling regulations.

Google "the sale of goods act".
