FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The suit is made from drum-dyed, milled cowhide leather, 1.2-1.3 mm thick. That thickness resists abrasion in a slide, and the milling makes the leather softer and quicker to break in. Cordura and accordion stretch panels add movement where you bend. If you want another hide, the Leather option also offers Monaco and Kangaroo leather.
For the John Hopkins 2012 suit, select Custom Size in the Size options and check out as usual. After checkout you get an order number. Go to the measurement form, type in the number, and add your measurements: height, chest girth, hip and external leg length. A friend can help hold the tape.
