Does anyone remember Lewis Leathers on the bottom of the moor? If I remember rightly they were next door to Thorntons.

Thanks for the welcome. Im talking early to mid 70's. There also used to be a music store sold guitars etc, on the same little strip of shops.

In the 70's it ws in the same block as Virgin, Thorntons and Hudsons Music. Before that, It was over the road, with Thorntons again and a party/fancy dress shop.

Did they relocate or just go out of business?

Lewis Leathers are sill on the go (see web site).

Apart from London, I don't think they have any direct shops.

Used to look in the window as lots of speedway riders in the early 70's wore Lewis Leathers & Bell Helmets

omg just had a flash back lol stars and striped painted speedway bike in the shop?

If anybody has any old Lewis Leathers gear ['60s stuff etc] there are dealers out there who pay money for them. Ive seen ads in the classic bike mags also on e-bay. Old Levi jackets as well, the ones with the orange stitching. I threw an old Levi jacket away a few years ago, it even had oil stains on it from Brighton beach when the Torrey Canyon, the worlds first oil tanker disaster happened. A big oil slick engulfed the south coast.
