Check out the European brands if you can get them there. Average length of EU women is significantly taller than in the US, so you can probably find something there, though you probably have to special order.

But damn, she must have some legs...  Inlove


Not all Europeans.  Dutch women are on average the tallest of any country on earth.  Try hitting the .nl sites

Want some cheese with that whine Razz Order custom made stuff and get over it Twofinger Jammin just ordered a custom Kelvar stuff for his trip to Mexico. Vivid has a custom Syed leather suit for the track. If you have odd body sizes....just order custom...yea maybe you have to skimp on some useless farkles (Ipod, XM BS, the GPS with all the lastest dodas) but you'll get stuff that fits and you'll be comfortable.

From where is the major question?!  Custom motorcycle leather makers have not popped up in any looking I have done locally...  Maybe I was absent the day that they told us how to find those! Bigsmile

You gotta go to the races and have the manufacturer's own tech measure you. Do Not trust a tailor who has no experience measuring for leathers (the riding position is obviously very different from a business suit) and especially Do Not trust some dude/gal in a motorcycle shop. Measuring a human body is harder than it sounds, and if you're spending megabucks to get something made custom, you want it to fit right.

I don't know where your nearest CSB round is, or how far you are from Brainerd, but you wanted to go to the races anyhow, right? And visit the Arai tech too.

Of course you can always go to their plant, but racetracks are definitely closer and more convenient.

My custom leathers were done by Helimot in San Jose.  Not local to you, but they do mail ordering as well and I've heard that they do a good job even when you can't physically come into the store.

 or how far you are from Brainerd,



OK, I had to Google it --- Calgary, AB to Brainerd, MN is 1,848km by the "fastest" route --- I wonder how far it would *actually* be the way we like to travel?!?!?!   Cool

Not this year, I can tell you that --- besides, we'd have to head over all that flatness.... we prefer West!!!  Bigsmile

Seriously though - thanks!   Thumbsup  We keep reading about custom leathers, but hadn't the faintest clue how you go about getting them made....
