My New Leathers.

Well apparently I'm an oddly shaped person. My height falls in the 44/54 category but my waist is in the 42/52 category. I can't afford custom leathers. Anyways, I was @ Laguna Seca for the MotoGP & Motostrano.com had a sell on there leathers. I got an Alpinestars TZ-1 for $500 no tax. Now i've bought Alpinestars Supertech boots & SP-1 Gloves. I'm not really happy with the gloves but the boots are NICE! The gloves fit perfectly but the seams on the inside bother my fingertips. Why couldn't they have just sewn them inside out?! They would be 100% perfect! I can barely stand up in my 54/44 suit but I've got lots of room in the midsection. I've got a trackday coming up in 2 days so I had to have a suit. Maybe sometime down the road I'll get a custom suit.

congrats on all the new gear :thumbup . i have the same problem as you, apparently they only make leathers for heavier folks :laughing . you could always look at kusitani suits, they tend to run smaller.
