FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What leather material is used in the Dieter Braun Yamaha 1973 racing suit?
The Dieter Braun Yamaha 1973 racing suit is crafted from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, the same weight and finish used in authentic vintage MotoGP race suits. Cowhide leather at this thickness provides exceptional abrasion resistance and durability during high-speed track sessions and crash scenarios. The drum-dyed and milled finish creates a uniform color and subtle texture that ages gracefully with use. If you prefer enhanced abrasion resistance, you can upgrade to Monaco leather or kangaroo leather through the made-to-measure customization options — both materials offer superior tensile strength in a lighter weight package.
How do I order a custom size suit and what is the lead time?
To order a custom size Dieter Braun MotoGP suit, select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, then complete the checkout process. After purchase, submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number. Our craftsmen will hand-stitch your suit to your exact specifications, and it will ship in 4–6 weeks from the date we confirm your measurements. If you choose a standard size (EU 42–60 for men or EU 38–50 for women), your suit will ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation.
What CE protection certifications does this racing suit have?
The Dieter Braun Yamaha 1973 racing suit is equipped with CE-approved external protectors at the shoulders, elbows, and knees that meet EN 1621-1:2012 standards. Inside, removable dual-density armor at the knees, shoulders, and elbows provides customizable impact absorption, and a removable spine protector is compatible with EN 1621-2 standards for back safety. The suit also includes replaceable TPU knee sliders so you can swap them out track-side. For additional back protection, you can add an optional aerodynamic speed hump during customization. This multi-layer protection approach mirrors the armor configuration found in professional MotoGP race suits.
Can I upgrade to kangaroo leather or choose different perforation options?
Yes. During customization, you can upgrade from the standard 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide to Monaco leather or kangaroo leather, both of which offer superior abrasion resistance in a lighter weight. Kangaroo leather is particularly favored by professional racers for its high tensile strength and flexibility. You can also choose from four perforation patterns: no perforation for cooler conditions, perforated chest for moderate ventilation, perforated front for enhanced airflow, or full perforated for maximum cooling on hot track days. Additionally, you can select your speed hump preference — no hump, standard hump, ventilated hump, or hydro hump — based on your neck and spine protection needs.
Is the Dieter Braun suit suitable for track days and racing?
Absolutely. The Dieter Braun Yamaha 1973 MotoGP suit is hand-stitched race-grade construction designed specifically for track racing and high-performance riding. The 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, pre-curved sleeves, and accordion stretch panels are engineered to match the riding position and movements of a professional racer. The CE-certified armor and removable spine protector meet the protection standards expected on the track. The suit is available as a 1-piece or 2-piece configuration, and you can customize perforation patterns and speed hump options to match your specific track conditions. Whether you're a collector seeking the Dieter Braun 1973 Yamaha livery replica or a track-day enthusiast wanting race-grade protection, this suit delivers both authenticity and performance.
