I've got a Vanson jacket I've been wearing for years. The quality cannot be matched. One of these days I'm going to have one of their suits.

Have you heard of Catwalk Leather?
Joel uses top notch leathers and armors and she has been doing custom leather suits for a long time.
She is affordable and very nice lady. I do send all my repairs to her and never been disappointed with the work or price.
My next thing will be to insert the drinking water in the suit hump.
I was about to order a suit from her but I got a such a great deal from Brandt (Ballistik) that I could not pass and she did the alterations to fit me just perfect.

+1 for Jol. She repaired Helena's suit and I was definitely impressed. They look stronger than Alpinestars made them.
Allen, my Syed is built like a tank, not elegant, yet has held up thru some big get-offs.
my Pilot instructor suit is thin, Had the zippers all replaced cause the mickey mouse ones they install failed.
and I would not deal with those arrogant fools at that company.
Amanda w Speed Sport leathers, my angel who repairs my crashed stuff is a good source of info. She repairs them all and several AMA racers stuff, and can tell you who makes good and best stuff.
Comet Racing Leathers.
Nick tested his a few times this season.
They held up great and the price is very good!!!
+1 on Comet Racing Lethers. Give Karl a call and he will do you a full custom suit for a very good price. I have 3 and they're very nice!
Reading....

Just curious... I "may" have a suggestion for a nice suit for you. It's a new 46/56.
Thanks all very much for your input!!! I've not had good luck with Comet, despite the fact that I really like Karl. My suit was a big miss in a couple of areas...I had two different people measure and paid a tailor to measure as well to be sure...it was so far off in the upper arm to elbow that I'm surprised it didn't raise a flag to whomever was reviewing it! Oh well, live and learn.
Bob...I'm 6'4 or bit less, 225lb...and about a 46" chest. The catch for me is the neck to crotch off the rack. I have to go to a 48' and have it tailored off the rack...
I'm leaning towards Syed right now...
Thanks again!
