FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leather is used in the Christian Treutlein IDM 1997 suit?

This IDM racing suit is constructed from drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, 1.2–1.3 mm thick. The drum-dyed finish creates a rich, uniform color with excellent abrasion resistance — essential for high-speed race conditions where slide protection is critical. The milling process breaks down the leather fibers slightly, increasing flexibility without sacrificing durability. Cowhide is the race-standard choice for its strength-to-weight ratio and proven track performance. If you prefer a lighter, more flexible option, kangaroo leather is available as an upgrade in the product options during checkout.

How do I order a custom size for this race suit?

Select Custom Size from the product options Size during checkout. Once your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number. Use that number to submit your body measurements via the measurement form. Our team will confirm your measurements and begin hand-stitching your suit. Custom-made orders ship in 4–6 weeks from the moment we confirm your specifications. Standard pre-sized orders (EU 42–60 / US 32–50) ship in 10–15 working days. If you're unsure about your measurements, check our size chart for guidance.

What armor protection does this suit include?

This IDM racing suit meets CE Level 2 protection standards — EN 1621-1:2012 — with removable dual-density armor at the shoulders, elbows, and knees. The armor is engineered to absorb and distribute impact energy across the highest-stress contact zones. The suit also includes a removable spine protector compatible with EN 1621-2 certification for additional back support during high-speed racing. Removable external TPU knee sliders are included and replaceable for extended track use. You can customize your protection level by selecting optional add-ons like the aerodynamic speed hump (available in standard, ventilated, or hydro variants) for neck and spine protection during aggressive cornering.

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

Made-to-measure custom orders ship in 4–6 weeks from the moment we confirm your body measurements via the measurement form. Standard pre-sized suits (no custom measurements needed) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation. All suits are hand-stitched made-to-order — there is no inventory stock. We ship to 50+ countries. For specific delivery timelines to your location, check our shipping & delivery page.

Is this suit legal for track days and amateur racing?

Yes. This Christian Treutlein IDM 1997 suit meets CE Level 2 protection standards (EN 1621-1:2012 for body armor; EN 1621-2 compatible for spine protection), which satisfies the minimum safety requirements for most track-day events and amateur racing series across Europe and internationally. Check with your specific track or racing organization for their exact gear requirements — some events may have additional specifications. The suit's hand-stitched construction, removable armor, and documented 1997 IDM livery make it both a functional race tool and a collector's piece for fans of German Superbike racing history.
