I'd like to wall mount a few sets of my leathers in my office, but I don't want to just hang them on hangers.
Can anyone suggest a way?
I'm thinking maybe glue something to the back of each shoulder section which can then mount on something fixed to the wall?
Ideas home slices....... that's what I pay you for!!!...... sorry, slipped in to work mode
nail gun and some washers?
how about putting them on mannequins instead of nailing them to the wall?

Could you unzip them and screw them to the wall in each shoulder and then do the zip back up?
Not sure how well it would hang but its an option.
If you don't mind no arms/head these seem pretty cheap need supporting (or hanging)

I think we can safely predict Maddog's next drunken purchase.........
and a Pritt Stick to combine it with the cut out.
Inflatable mannequin is what you need. Full size ones inc arms/legs on fleabay
Are they that much of an objet d'art Dan :?:

fond memories and a bit of cool bric a brac for my home office...... very few people venture up here
mannequins will take up too much floor space...... regrettably, it looks like I'm screwing through them
Would you not be better off fixing a nice chrome rail to the ceiling next to the wall and hanging the leathers on some decent hangers.
Like Lewis Leathers...

Or in perspex cases like Dainese

the ceiling follows the line of the roof, I'd like to mount them where the last 2 pictures are on this wall:

Just like the joiners gate, clean lines and design but the socket is hanging off the backplate :-)
Snagging Dan!

HA!!.... couple of months down the line and I'm ashamed to admit that it still is.
It's on the list.
given the rigidity of race leathers I would suggest a flat plate screwed to the wall with two small poles sticking out, one to go under each arm pit, they shouldn't move or fall off
plate thing could be wood or nicely shaped aluminium done in CNC
but that's just the home engineer in me thinking this
Thought I saw an alpinestars nostrum suit lurking at the back.... Confirmed by the pics ..... I had a set if those years back but gave them away earlier in the year. At the end of the day it comes down to to you want to damage them I.e. Putting screws or nails through them, some form of rail either suspended from the ceiling or wall could be used to hang them on hangers, that way you could turn them round, change the order of them just to make it look different. You could screw hooks into the ceiling joist, that would do the same, but the thing is they would not be damaged
Better than my old leathers being stuffed in the loft, apart from the nostrum ones now.
Metal flat "hangers" screwed to the wall with big magnets on the inside to hold the leathers in place.

If chicks were allowed in the man cave that set up would get you so much ass.... You've literally got all bases covered!
Your picture framer is fucking useless.....
There was me convinced you were going to velcro the suits to the ceiling as well :(
I killed a camcorder just like that a couple of years ago. The tape mechs are fairly sensitive affairs.

Am thinking how motorsport loving the owners of those houses in the background must have been. Where is that Aintree ?
