Leathers, or textiles...
get him out of those jeans and Victor Meldrew jacket though PLEASE.....
I use textiles daily. If he rides it daily to work, its a good alternative and much cheaper.
Bike looks nice though. Do you mind me asking what he paid for it (2005/6 bike????).

Looks good.
Dont worry about him not wearing any protection, He'll soon learn when he slides down the road and can't sit down properly for a few weeks.

He had only just got it out, you should see what he has to push it through to get it out they clean up pretty quick.

That crys out accident damaged to me. Would never buy a bike that had been fully painted like that.. Not my cup of tea but if hes happy..
Absolutely insane not to have any leathers or textiles, I went round the block the other day with jeans and a hoody on and felt so wrong..

It did to us, we clearly knew it had been down the road just by the respray, but this was perfect for his price range. we were more interested in if it had been repaired correctly, and when we got there it was very clean and we were impressed, hes happy
