It was leather. Their suits wasn't fabric until the "New" versions

It certainly doesn't look like leather, and no I'm not talking about the shin riders.

it's leather

These are the "new" suits which were fabric. I'm not talking about Shin cause those are also leather lol

That's true. Probably because of their low budget and move-ability, all the early rider suits were lycra and fabric.
Medicom used mixed versions - some fabric, some pleather.
Personally I don't mind thin genuine leather since it looks better. Fabric will catch dirt and stain easily especially in black color.

I think there were a multiple versions of suit for both No1 and No2.
Very original versions were leather for few episodes, but suits were damaged too easily in the filming and bike scenes, they switched to elastic lyca fabric.

yeah this is what happened. but in the "lore" it's supposed to be leather. I'm just glad HT actually weathered these nicely, the cheap nasty looking props are apart of the charm
