Yes. We manufacture in our own factories and make race suits, jackets and pants for shops, race teams, clubs and private-label brands. Use the wholesale enquiry form and tell us roughly what you need.

If you're usually a standard size in riding gear, a standard size works well. If you're between sizes, taller or shorter than average, or want a close race fit, choose “Made to measure” and enter your measurements. It costs the same.

Use a soft tape measure, over light clothing, and keep it snug but not tight. It's much easier with someone helping you. Our made-to-measure page explains each measurement, and you can enter them in centimetres or inches.

Message us on WhatsApp or arrange a video call before ordering so we can help you take and check measurements. We also send real photos of your finished suit for you to confirm the design and details before shipping.

Our standard suits use 1.2–1.3 mm AAA-grade cowhide. AAA-grade describes the leather quality. The body armor is CE-certified.

Yes. A full kangaroo leather upgrade costs an additional $150 per suit and replaces the cowhide in all leather panels. Select it on your suit product page.

Airbag fit customization costs an additional $75 per suit. Tell us your exact airbag brand and model so we can confirm the fit requirements before production. For a model not listed, choose Other and enter its details in the notes. The airbag is not included.

Yes. There's a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects: leather faults, stitching or seam failures, broken hardware like zips and snaps, and armor that wasn't fitted correctly. It doesn't cover crash damage, normal wear, or damage from improper care.

Take the armor out first. Wipe the leather with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a little mild soap, then wipe it again with a clean damp cloth. Never machine wash leather or use solvents or harsh cleaners. Let it dry naturally on a wide hanger, away from radiators, heaters and direct sun, then apply a leather conditioner so it stays supple. Store it hung up somewhere cool and dry.
