    Kushitani leathers

    Are Kushitani leathers good in general?
    Anything to look for or out for as far as models, etc?
    Also, is there anyway to add ventilation (no, not crash applied please) to an old suit?
    Oh, and what about Arlen Ness suits?

    Duplicate posts are pretty easy to remove, LL.


    Kushitani are very nice, fairly expensive suits. They were a sponsor of the old trackoholics race team, and all the riders who fell ( which is most of them) swore by them.


    They tend to run 'slim,' unless you really splash out and have them made custom.

    may be able to perforate leathers, but you could just buy a leather punch and do the same thing.

    I intend to write a review on BB - I think they offer the best value in a custom suit, period.

    Thank you! Just remembered I HAVE a leather punch
    I found an older Kushi 2 pc I may buy.
    Love to hear about the BB stuff!

    And it may be easy for YOU to delete em, I was fast on my way to messing something up when your PM came up!

    BB has a great reputation and will def take care of you. From what I hear Spyder leather works is of the same caliber. I'm having her do some work to my suit now, but nothing functional; purly "bling".

    I think it's the other way around.
