FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leather is used in the Barry Sheene 1976 racing suit?

The Barry Sheene suit is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather—race-grade thickness chosen for abrasion resistance and durability at high speeds. This thickness is the industry standard for MotoGP and WSBK race suits because it balances protection with flexibility. The drum-dyed and milling process strengthens the leather's tensile properties, making it ideal for track racing and crash slides. If you prefer lighter, more abrasion-resistant material, you can upgrade to Monaco or kangaroo leather during checkout as part of the leather upgrade options. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 ensures every suit is built to your exact specifications.

How do I order a custom-sized Barry Sheene suit?

Made-to-measure custom sizing is simple. Select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, then complete the checkout process as normal. After your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number. Visit the measurement form and submit your body measurements using your order number. Our team will review your measurements and confirm your specifications. Your suit will then ship in 4-6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (EU 42-60 / US 32-50 for men; EU 38-50 / US 6-18 for women) ship in 10-15 working days. Custom sizing ensures the suit fits your body perfectly, not a template—critical for track riding and comfort during long sessions.

What CE certifications does the Barry Sheene suit have?

The suit features EN 1621-1:2012 certified dual-density removable armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips. It is also compatible with an EN 1621-2 removable spine/back protector for additional vertebral protection. All armor is removable and replaceable, so you can customize protection levels or swap in upgraded armor pieces. External TPU knee sliders provide additional protection during track slides and are also replaceable. These certifications align with modern MotoGP and WSBK safety standards, ensuring you have the same protection spec as professional race suits. The suit also features additional leather reinforcement at impact zones (shoulders, elbows, knees, hips) and dual/triple safety stitching in critical areas for maximum durability in a crash.

How long does a made-to-measure suit take to ship?

Standard sizes ship in 10-15 working days from order confirmation.

Is the 1976 Barry Sheene livery historically accurate?

The red cowhide leather, racing suit cut, and design details match his iconic 1976 Suzuki GP race suit. Barry Sheene is a legendary MotoGP icon, and this suit captures the aesthetic and construction of that era's race gear. For collectors and MotoGP enthusiasts, this is a verifiable piece of racing history—not a generic race suit. The suit is available in one-piece or two-piece configuration, and you can customize the leather (cowhide, Monaco, or kangaroo), speed hump, perforation, and protection options to match your riding needs while preserving the 1976 livery authenticity.
