Whoever told you that kangaroo leather keeps on stretching is full of shit. Fuck, the crap some people can make up when they want to sell you something!

Forgot to say, he was a ex peter stevens salesman

Thanks for the info, I like the look of jackson racing he has some very satisfied customers over on netrider taking him up. Gimoto seems a bit expensive as does Tiger Angel although the option of altering in Melbourne is a good one.

Another option I have found is Pilot which is a US custom brand sold by sportbiketrackgear.com, a website I have used a lot and trust. Here is the link http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Ca ... ts%3APilot

Cost of a custom made suit starts at $1260 USD delivered.

I'll ring tigerangel and Jackson during the week to get some indication of price. Jackson seems to be about $1200 AUD and tiger closer to $2K.

Price from tiger angel for classic suit made to measure and pick your own desighn was $1650.All there suits are the same except for the panel coulors on the others

I almost threw that in as well !!

But talking about custom leathers - there is a set of leathers that have just landed in Anarchy Road - not my place unfortunately - and they look like the leathers you can find here.....

I ended up ordering a set of custom Tiger Angel leathers today mainly because they are in Melbourne about 5 minutes from my office. Dropped in and was measured up by Steve who helped me do the design. I have added some features to the standard design (a few logos, heaps of stretch panels and perforation) and all up cost is $1936 for a 2 pc.

I got quotes from gimoto which was about the same in cow and a few hundred more in roo skin.

Key thing is that Tiger Angel can deliver the suit to me this Friday so I can use it at PI on Monday next week. Also they can make adjustments etc easily.

Got the Tigerangel suit yesterday, have been out for a spin and its fantastically comfortable. I'll post some more comments after the track day on Monday. Here are a few pics. Note the colour matching socks.
