Hey ladies
After my wee oopsie on the track I am after a new one piece. :Oops: I need some advice on what brand to get as my last ones rubbed in all the wrong places and I want to avoid that with the next set.........

Why dont you get in contact with Sam Fitzgerald from Celtic Leathers who lives in Pahiatua who makes leathers to fit. If you pm me I will give you his contact details if your interested. Hope you are feeling better?. Cheers.

What's your budget?
Celtic Leathers make a great suit if you can afford $1900.
Quasimoto do a custom fitted suit for the same price, too.
I'd recommend getting a suit made to measure, rather than buying something off the rack.

Here's another idea: buy whatever you can afford that's the 'right' size (your current suit, mayhap, if it's still basically/mostly in one piece?) and take it to Kerrie at MSW to get it customised. It will end up cheaper than having a whole suit made from scratch.

Fortunately insurance is going to cover it all - I'll give Quasi a PM cause he's not too far away from me. I can drive down there when my drugs wear off!!!

My current suit is in about 8 pieces :crybaby:.....I don't think it's fixable ha

Happy to come to you mate, not a problem.
I dont recommend getting anything and making them work with someone changing them around, its not an ideal thing............why, stitching and leather seam integrity can be comprimised, amours etc can end up in not quite the right place and any shape or pattern can be upset.
you might even be a standard size so a standard yet custom coloured suit is $1395

I brought a Ixon Anthemion one-piece suit and its wicked. Very comfortable with good leather. French design and retails for $2k, CycleTreads stocks.
Flame also owns one so maybe ask her if anyone wants a second opinion.
