Cruisin,
If you are in the market for a 1pc perforated leather suit, joe rocket makes/made one that is shorter than the rest of their offerings. Let me know if you want me to find out the name for you. It's a nice top of the line track suit, but due to the non-standard fit you can find them barely used if you look.
Appreciate the heads-up, but I'm terribly interested in leather nor one-piece suits.
On another note to update the Tourmaster situation; I recently ordered a pair of the mesh pants from Tourmaster and even though the shortest length with my waist size isn't quite right, it is far better than the other brands where their "one size fits all" version is typically about 8" too long for me (27" inseam). I think I could easily cut these off about 2" and they would be perfect. But for 2", I may just live with the less than perfect fit. It is so much better than any other off the shelf fit that I have had I am very pleased.
One really impressive thing about the Tourmaster deal is that when I ordered from their website, I accidentally scrolled to the wrong style pant and ordered one that did not come in shorter length. I E-mailed the service center and explained the problem asking what we could do to correct MY screw-up. They sent me a return authorization number and within two weeks, I had the correct pants at my door. All the error cost me was my shipping costs back to them. Tourmaster gets
from me for both quality of their product, and their outstanding customer service.
So, for those of you seeking a reputable company to buy shorter inseam riding pants, take a look at Tourmaster. Their off the shelf prices are about half what you will pay for custom made Motoports. I'm hoping they may soon offer jackets in shorter sleeve lengths or at least some that are easier to alter then what is offered now. When I bought my first textile gear back in the fall of 2000, I bought new Tourmaster jacket and pants. I subsequently took them to a shop to have altered to fit. Cost; $100 per piece; that had them costing just as much as custom made stuff. I know better now.
If enough folks needing shorter pants and shorter sleeves on jackets make enough noise, maybe Tourmaster and other companies will eventually listen. These new offerings on pants are a step in the right direction.
