I'm FINALLY about to bite the bullet and get my first 'Stich. I've seen a bajillion of them, but I'd like to see any photos any of you have of your 'stiches, because I'm trying to figure out what colors to choose. I'm thinking of black with custom ballistics. I want a suit that will look non-rediculous and show up well in photos. To the photo end, I'll probably delete the reflective bits.
Let's see the pics!

This color is now a "classic," so you can only wish yours will look so cool

In the Detroit area, there is a BMW group that does a Sunday breakfast gathering/ride.
I have met with them many times, although I do not ride a BMW.
Many of them have the hi-viz yellow. All those who have this color love it for the perceived additional protection that the hi=viz color affords them.
It is an eye catching color!
After seeing them so often, I find that the color is pretty cool.
I think if I had that type of bike and suit, that is the color that I would get.
As is always mentioned, you dress for the crash, not the ride, so this would be my reasoning behind that color scheme.

If you go to Aerostich's website you can click on the small pictures on the cover. Then it reopens each pic in a larger window.
See if you can find the one made of duct tape.

I have been to the Aerostich website and have played around with the colors quite a lot, but I find that the online tool doesn't really reflect how the suits work in real life.

Black and silver. This picture was taken on my first trip with the suit, so it only had about 5k miles on it by this point. LOVE it!

I want a suit that will look non-rediculous and show up well in photos.
Then look elsewhere. Because you will;
a) Look ridiculous anywhere unless you are in front of a sport-touring crowd.
b) Will make your ass look big in photos

Let's see the pics!
Probably the most popular color combination that is still normal looking. I like to be seen by other traffic!

Mine just arrived. I went with the tried-and-true black on grey. I went with the sizing tool, and I think they recommended one that's way too big. I wear a size 43 or 44 suit jacket, and AS recommended a size 46. It seems a bit huge compared to what I'm seeing in the above pics. I did state that I would occasionally wear fleece underneath, but not a whole sheep...
