Cool suit!
Been shopping around for a new suit. I've had Joe Rocket suits for 4 years now, and they are great, but very heavy. I was looking at the suit Tommy and Rodger Lee were wearing this year, and saw that they were Arlen Ness suits. Now it gets interesting. 
Response back from Arlen Ness:
Hi,
The only way to see if you can get them in the US is to check on the internet. Arlen Ness is not the manufacture nor distributor of the leathers or racing suits.
Sorry I could not be more helpful.
So I kinda gave up on getting an Arlen Ness suit.
Recently, was shopping on Knee Draggers, saw they were selling some Arlen Ness leather suits, inquired about the Kangaroo skin:
Larry,
I have good news. The Moto GP suit it the Kangaroo suit you are looking
for. It is made by Berik which made the Arlen ness suit. So that is the
suit you would want.

>>Would you be able to special order an Arlen Ness suit in Kangaroo? I've
>>been searching for a US importer for Arlen Ness suits and was very
>>pleased to see that you carry their products.

>>Thanks,

So there you go, I was able to find what I was looking for. Now, what about price?

doesnt really make sense to allow cowhide but not kangaroo skin does it? lighter & better abrasion resistence? sounds like a win to me.
