DEATH OF THE RACING SUIT! Not so fast.

After spending tons of money promoting custom made racing suits and getting lots of buzz about them not to mention sales, my supplier for some unexplained reason doubled the price of the suits. The bad thing is, they didn't even let me know they were doubling the price of the suits. I found out on my credit card bill....5 suits custom made that instead of making a little, I lost big bucks on. I think there is more behind the doubling of price then I was told, because quite frankly, I don't believe that the factory doubled their price. I comunicated with other manufacturers in Pakistan and their prices are about the same as my original price.

I'm now searching for a new supplier so I don't lose the approximately $10,000 I spent promoting the suits.

For the time being, I'm still offering the Himalaya custom racing suits but the price has increased to $680 per suit with a $110 shipping fee. I really don't think I'll sell any though, because I've already been told that there are local people that can make a pretty good custom made suit for just dollars over the cost of a Pakistani made suit.

Sorry everyone, but I hope to be back in the business of $400 custom made suits soon.
