Yes. The standard suit is cowhide. Monaco leather and kangaroo leather can be picked in the Leather option instead. You can also add perforation on the chest, the front, or the whole suit for airflow. A speed hump is optional too, in standard, ventilated, or hydro styles. Pick each choice when you order, and the suit is made to match.
Choose Custom Size in the Size options on the page for the Wes Cooley 1983 suit, then complete checkout. You receive an order number. Open the measurement form and enter that number with your body measurements. A suit needs numbers such as height, waist length, chest girth and sleeve length. Measure twice so the numbers match.
Wipe the suit with a soft, dry cloth after each ride. Keep it away from heat and direct sun. If it gets wet, let it dry slowly at room temperature. Never use a hair dryer or a radiator. A leather conditioner now and then keeps the surface supple. Read the leather care instructions for more detail.
