There is something similar at Eastman Leather Clothing. I have a couple of their jackets:beautifully made and if you should need a repair, very helpful.

For a trike, you want one of these:  Aero Leather Barnstormer Fully tested in the rain and shrugs it off as horse-hide is waterproof. I'm reminded of a costume ball I went to once and one of the blokes was dressed like a Nazi in a coat very similar to that thing.

I went to see "The sound of music" wearing my motorcycle boots. You should have seen the looks I got. Well I was 19 and a motorcycle was my only form of transport. But after the film those black motorcycle boots did look a bit like jackboots  PS. What happened to helmets?

Generally don't wear a helmet to drive the trike, but I do wear what I call a motor cap, and Holden call a lugger hat. See: Holden lugger hat (Holden bar hotlinks so I can't post a picture unless I host it, and I don't run a trade site, so I'm not hosting it...).

Holden has a nice leather one, called the "Spitfire". Great looking, imo.

Trouble with a leather helmet is when you get it wet, they take an age to dry. A wool cap dries on the wearer quite well.
If you could get a horsehide helmet, that would be fine, but I've never seen one for sale.

Seriously though. Given the looming success of the Morgan Three Wheeler perhaps someone should suggest to Davida that they make a range of helmets specifically to suit the car. "Someone" has done it. Check out the new entry in Morgan's on-line shop. http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/shop/shop_new.phtml?cat=0  Available in a range of colours. They also have some very reasonably priced leather flying helmets.
