Back in July I wrote about the Death of the Custom made Racing Suit. My supplier at the time doubled the price on me without even letting me know, resulting in a big monetary loss for suits I already had in production plus the loss of approximately $10K in promotional expenses for the suits.
I don't need that supplier for my racing suits (maybe not for anything else either?). I found a new manufacturer, in Pakistan, that can produce custom made suits at approximately the price I had been paying for the last 3 years. So, I'm back in business.
I got a suit 2 weeks ago and had it inspected and checked out thoroughly by a number of local riders and leather craftsman. All said, it appeared to be better than the Himalaya racing suits (of which I've paid to have a couple of custom Himalaya altered because they were not made to spec. Also, one of the sleeve zippers actually pulled out of one suit when putting it on).
The test was when I gave it to a member of the Dysturbed Ryders motorcycle club to test and low and behold, three other members came in within a few days to check out the new suit.
We are back! I'll have more about this custom made motorcycle racing suit in a later post.
