Vanson Leathers If they don't have something presized they can tailor make it to your measurements. I like the AlpinStar for price and quality but lots to chose from.
Find a shop that sells them and try it on. Don't let them order anything for you unless they will exchange it at no charge if you order something with out trying it on.

I'm with Jeeps. Find a place that stocks a bunch of stuff....I know thats tough sometimes to find such a place. Fit is very important.

If an off-the-rack Alpinestar suit won't fit you, Bates Leathers in CA will custom fit a suit for you: http://www.batesleathers.com/.

If you are going custom I recomment NJK Leathers (www.njkleathers.com) or Barnacle Bill (www.racingleather.com).
I tried AStars and found that they are cut for anorexic women. I currently wear MotoGP separates that allowed me to fit pants and jacket separately. The jacket came with a full zipper, but the pants didn't. I had Barnacle Bill to install one for $25. Vanson is very good stuff but spendy. I don't know HOW gorilla you are, but I have a new MotoGP Corkscrew jacket that I will sell CHEAP. |
