Custom Leather Question
I'm going to suck it up and lay out some cash for a set of custom leathers this year. Anyone like to make a recommendation? Price vs quality vs features.
Greatly appreciated

I say Vansons...I have a set of custom 2 piece DragRace suit with all the options I wanted $ 1,200.00...
I recomend you have them measure you and force them to give you extra room in the suit, you know an inch more in circumference for the ankles, legs, wrist, arms, neck, shoulders, waist...Most of the manufacturers like to fit you for a tight suit...If you gain 10lbs, then its too tight and uncomfortable...

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward Vanson. But their web site isn't the best and I have more questions than answers
