MD claims it's one of the reasons firm went into liquidation
The Managing Director of Scott Leathers is claiming a lack of trade at the TT is one of the reasons his company went into liquidation.
The County Durham-based retailer was wound down last month - in recent years the firm stopped operating in the paddock at the Grandstand when the event secured a partnership deal with another manufacturer.
During their heyday the brand supplied race suits for riders such as Joey Dunlop and John McGuinness.
Jim Aird says he's proud of his association with the TT:
