FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What material is the Eddie Lawson Yamaha MotoGP racing suit made from?
The Eddie Lawson Yamaha suit is constructed from drum-dyed milled cowhide leather, 1.2–1.3 mm thick. This thickness and finish deliver the abrasion resistance and durability required for MotoGP-level track use. The drum-dyed process creates a rich, consistent color that matches the documented red and white 1988 Yamaha livery. Cowhide leather race-grade construction has been the standard for professional motorcycle racing since the 1980s because of its balance between protection, weight, and flexibility. The milling process softens the leather while maintaining its structural integrity, giving you comfort during long track sessions without compromising safety. You can upgrade to kangaroo leather if you prefer lighter weight and enhanced abrasion resistance—simply select the kangaroo option during checkout.
How does the CE-certified armor protect me during a crash?
The Eddie Lawson suit features CE-certified Level 2 armor (EN 1621-1:2012) at the shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips—the four highest-impact zones during a motorcycle crash. The dual-density foam construction absorbs and distributes impact energy across a larger surface area, reducing the force transmitted to your body. The armor is removable, so you can customize the protection level based on your track session intensity. Additionally, the suit includes a removable spine protector (EN 1621-2 compatible) that shields your back during slides. The cowhide leather overlays at impact zones add a secondary abrasion barrier, keeping the armor in place and protecting the underlying layers. Eddie Lawson's 1988 Yamaha suit was built to the same protection standard, ensuring you have race-proven armor configuration.
What is the made-to-measure process for custom sizing?
Custom sizing is straightforward. During checkout, select "Custom Size" from the product options Size dropdown. Complete your order, then submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number. Our team will confirm your measurements and begin hand-stitching your suit. Custom-made orders ship in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. If you prefer a standard size (EU 42–60 for men, EU 38–50 for women), your suit ships in 10–15 working days. Standard sizes are pre-cut and hand-stitched to fit the size range you select. Many riders choose custom sizing to achieve the precise race-fit Eddie Lawson's 1988 suit delivered—snug at the shoulders and hips, with pre-curved sleeves that match your arm position on the bike.
Can I upgrade the leather or add a speed hump to the Yamaha suit?
Yes. The Eddie Lawson Yamaha suit offers several customization options. You can upgrade from cowhide to Monaco leather or kangaroo leather during checkout—kangaroo is lighter and offers enhanced abrasion resistance, ideal if you're running multiple track days. Speed hump options include no hump, standard hump, ventilated hump, or hydro hump, each providing progressive levels of back and neck protection for high-speed cornering. You can also add perforation (chest, front, or full) for summer ventilation, or choose a thermal removable lining for seasonal adaptability. Extra knee sliders are available if you want a backup slider for extended sessions. Matching gloves and boots in the same 1988 Yamaha livery are available to complete your replica. All customization selections are made during checkout before you submit your measurements.
Is the Eddie Lawson 1988 Yamaha suit an authentic race replica?
Yes. The suit is a documented replica of Eddie Lawson's 1988 Yamaha MotoGP race suit, featuring the authentic red and white livery and race-grade construction that defined that season. The hand-stitched made-to-order construction, drum-dyed cowhide leather, pre-curved sleeves, and accordion stretch panels replicate the protective design Lawson wore during his championship-contending 1988 campaign. The CE-certified armor (EN 1621-1:2012) and removable spine protector (EN 1621-2 compatible) meet modern track-day safety standards while preserving the original silhouette and fit. This is not a fashion replica—it's a race-replica built to the same protection and construction spec as the original, hand-stitched by Leather Collection since 2009. Collectors and track-day riders choose this suit for both authenticity and proven race protection.
