FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What leather is used in the Daijiro Kato Castrol Honda 1999 suit?

The suit is constructed from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, a race-grade material chosen for its durability and abrasion resistance during high-speed track riding. The drum-dyed finish ensures consistent color saturation throughout the leather, while the milling process softens the hide for comfort without sacrificing protection. This thickness provides the optimal balance between impact absorption and rider mobility — thicker than training leathers but still flexible enough for aggressive cornering and body positioning. You can also upgrade to Monaco or Kangaroo leather if you prefer lighter weight or enhanced abrasion resistance for extended racing seasons.

How do I order a custom-fit Daijiro Kato MotoGP racing suit?

Select "Custom Size" from the product options Size dropdown, then complete the checkout process. After your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number. Use that number to access the measurement form and submit your body measurements (chest, waist, inseam, sleeve length, and any other custom details). Once we receive and confirm your measurements, your suit enters production and ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. If you prefer a standard size, we offer EU 42–60 and US 32–50 in Men's, plus EU 38–50 and US 6–18 in Women's — these ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation.

What CE protection certifications does this race suit have?

The suit features EN 1621-1:2012 certified armor at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips — all removable dual-density pockets that absorb and distribute impact energy during a slide. The spine protector is removable and EN 1621-2 compatible, providing back protection that meets the same European safety standard used in professional MotoGP racing suits. External TPU knee sliders are replaceable, allowing you to swap them out as they wear down during track days. All armor pieces can be customized or removed depending on your riding style and track conditions — giving you full control over your protection setup.

Can I customize the speed hump, perforation, and other options on this suit?

Yes. During checkout, you can select your speed hump preference: No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, or Hydro Hump — each offers different levels of back protection and airflow. Perforation options include No Perforation, Perforated Chest, Perforated Front, or Full Perforated — choose based on your climate and track conditions. You can also add Removable Lining, Thermal Removable Lining, or an Extra Knee Slider. Leather upgrade options (Cowhide / Monaco / Kangaroo) are available if you want to change the material or weight. All these options are applied during the made-to-measure build process, so your final suit matches your exact riding needs.

Is this Daijiro Kato suit screen-accurate to his 1999 MotoGP season livery?

This suit is a documented replica of Daijiro Kato's 1999 Castrol Honda MotoGP season livery. The white Castrol Honda colorway, leather construction, and race-grade protection reflect the suit specifications from that historic season. Daijiro Kato was a promising MotoGP talent, and this replica honors his legacy with authentic 1999 season details — pre-curved sleeves, accordion stretch panels, and the same protection standards that professional MotoGP riders depend on. Whether you're a collector seeking historical accuracy or a track-day rider wanting a verifiable season replica, this suit delivers both the livery authenticity and the real race-grade protection you're looking for.
