I bought a motorcycle leather jacket at Mars. My first impression was that the styles of the jackets are a bit dated. But there were also a few styles I really liked. Mars supplies Victoria Police and other government services with protective leather clothing. The leathers are made locally, some from kangaroo hide which is very tough and can be customised for fit, style and protection. They take a lot of care in the fitting and measuring. I'm really happy with my jacket and I like the fact that it is made locally and customised just for me.

Approximate cost: $600
