It's in beautiful condition I believe! It's unfortunately (fortunately if you are a buyer) the price they are making at the mo! There have been some true beauties sold for even less, 08 greys/chocs etc. A bit like the old Bal City bags that are selling for way less now..defo keep hold of your motos!

I wonder if they’ll resurface with the same popularity one day or if they’re done. I always think he they’re so much better quality than the newer ones these days ( back in the made in France days I mean) much like a lot of other things I guess. I always get comments on mine when I wear them but the reason I love them so much is the feeling of a big hug they give you! It just puts a smile on the dial with appreciation for a great product that’s standing the true test of time. Feel very lucky to have them and getting them as new most of them anyway!

Hi everyone!
Hope this message finds you all healthy & happy
I know its the middle of summer — hardly moto weather! - but I wanted to share something only you ladies (and gents!) can appreciate

After years of weight gain, I finally decided to part ways with all of my smaller sized jackets, which included my most prized possession of all - 2007 black. Finding an 07 Biscuit in my now larger size (as well as few other unicorns) was a nice consolation, but I still yearned for that 07 black leather!

Well FF one year and even though its not quite the size I was hoping to find it is larger than the one I had & I couldn’t pass it up. It arrived yesterday after some high drama (story to follow!) and looks like it was hardly ever worn. Its not nearly as faded and “green” as my previous jacket & there doesn’t seem to be much wear anywhere. When I put it on it felt a little too snug, but I wore it around the house all evening last night and by the time I took it off, it felt like it had stretched almost a full size! (now I have an incentive to drop a few more pounds!!). The leather is as velvety soft as I remember (Biscuit is pillowy soft, but doesn’t have that velvety feel that the black does)

Took a few pics trying to capture all that wonderfulness that is 07 leather — hope you all enjoy!

Hi, are the old archived Bal moto pages not available anymore?

I know you posted this a while ago, but I didn’t see any replies
I was looking for some of the older threads last week and had a bit of a hard time finding them, but finally did

here’s a list of all the previous Moto jacket threads

Congrats on the amazing find! That leather looks

Love popping in and out of this thread some amazing motos ladies. I one owned the 2009 navy and totally regret selling I got it at an amazing price too new from Balenciaga as they messed up an order and was glitch with price if I remember right.
Anyway the red balenciaga I bought last year I’m still trying to pin point the correct colour. I wondered if any of you lovey ladies could help?

the colour code on label if I’m right is 3210. I may let go of her to hunt a navy again it’s like a brick red colour?

I will pop in photos of label. Also I just realised as it’s been so long since I owned a moto but the zippers on the sleeve I noticed the ‘B’ on cuff zippers are too the back where as the others the ‘B’ looks out if that makes sense. Is this how they should be?
Xxx

So after a lazy morning I’m thinking I’ve pin pointed it to maybe lipstick red?? It was same season, fall 2010 that the pine came out as I owned that one too back in the day lol On researching more I remember seening the red but not liking it as felt it was way to bright but 11 years on I have to say the colour is really nice and autumnally. The previous owner has
Worn it in well and looked after it, and I love the worn in look, although I’ve still to get the inner lining sorted as was small tear when I bought. Xxx
