There is, belstaff. The kit they made was really good. They were taken over by an italian fashion house...price went up, quality went down and it was more like clothing to look like you are a biker.
You know the turn up at boxhill in a car then walk around wearing your jacket and carrying a helmet.

Rapha of motorcycling...
What lynx said.
Bear in mind lots of kit is more expensive anyway. Decent jackets don't have to cost that much, but everything else adds up.
Having done the CBT+125, then Direct Access I'd say it's 100% your preference which is better. Going straight to DA will likely be cheaper as you only have to buy and insure one bike - even if you need more lessons.
The big plus of riding a 125 cc for a while is getting hours on the bike, which ultimately improves your riding.
Worth adding that some 125's will do +70mph. They just tend not to feel as stable or safe. If you do buy a 125 and have to ride at higher speeds I'd really recommend choosing a faux racing bike. They may look a bit naff, but they tend to go faster, have better brakes and more importantly a fairing - which helps no end.

Would Sir like to try on this Rukka suit?
I have a Rukka summer suit which I've done 2 big tours with and I had to scrap my winter Rukka jacket after I holed it in a crash. They are brilliant. These days I like the under armour that you can wear an armourless leather over the top of, that way you can layer a waterproof on top and have a really big choice of clothing to suit the seasons/weather.
