FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The standard suit is made from 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide. It is drum-dyed, so the red color goes through the hide, and milled to make it softer. Cowhide this thick holds up well to scrapes in a slide. When you order, you can switch to Monaco or kangaroo leather instead. Kangaroo leather is thinner and lighter than cowhide. Every suit is hand-stitched and made to order.
The suit has removable CE Level 2 armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips. This armor meets EN 1621-1:2012. A removable back protector is EN 1621-2 compatible. On the outside, replaceable TPU knee sliders protect the leather when your knee touches the track. You can take the armor out to clean the suit. You can also add a speed hump behind the neck.
Start with the Size options and pick Custom Size. Finish checkout and keep your order number. Then use the measurement form to enter that number along with chest girth, waist, hip, sleeve length and crotch to ground. Keep the tape snug but flat on your body. Need help with the tape?

No. It is a replica inspired by the red Suzuki leathers Barry Sheene wore in 1976. It is made by Leather Collection and has no tie to the rider, his family or Suzuki. The suit is built for riders and fans who like classic race gear. Browse more MotoGP race suits from other riders and years.
Wipe the suit with a damp cloth after each ride to remove bugs and dirt. Take out the armor and let the suit dry at room temperature, away from heat. Rub in a little leather conditioner every few months to keep the cowhide soft. Hang the suit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Check the knee sliders and swap them when they wear thin. The leather care instructions give more tips.
