Think about all the gears you buy from the shop i.e. Dainese, Alpinestars, Kushi, etc.... Most if not all are made in Asia.
So what quality wise? Craftsmanship will be the same, but be picky about the leather quality, thread used, double or triple stitching and double panelling on impact areas and sizes of panels used = the larger the panels the less stitching = stronger. Also avoid stitchings on impact areas..
Hmmm... you just gave me an idea to have one custom made when I get there... Cheers matey!

Isipin mo yung kasabihang, ' Ang kapal mo! Balat kalabaw ka!'
Ngayon... Sino makipag argiyu sa balabaw? Sirudo kahit isang milya ang sadsad mo sa kalsada protektado ka pa rin!
Check mo yung leather baka baboy yan! mapagkamalan ka na chicharon at habulin ka ng suka! Ok lang sana kung me sili!:D joke, joke joke...

Actually, may Teknics full suite ako para sa track -- maganda naman ang fit, pero gusto ko sanang pa "customize" with race lettering...

Medyo mahal dito locally, kaya I was wodering kung mas mura doon sa atin. Then I thought... well how about FULL custom-FIT leathers??

I was gonna get a used set of Dainese, but the fit would not be guaranteed.

Has anyone actually have theirs custom made there? Because actually, my Teknic "Lightning" suite says "Made in the Philippines" inside... it put a smile to my face. :) Nice suite, made in my MY country of origin. :D

PM Jake, he might be able to hook you up. But I don't think they do custom jobs.

Custom leathers are rumored to cost @$3000. Your own design:crazy::> :{

NO WAY!!!!!! Really??? :? That's :crazy: ... really???????????

Relax guys,

A "single" color custom leathers is only 1200-1500. Talked to one of the vendors in the bike show, then it gets more expensive when you have multiple colors.

Definition of "single color" not necessarily one color but the design of the leather patch made of 1 piece. So you can have multiple colors yet considers single as long as the leather pieces are single cuts that's easy to sew together. Do I make sense?

I really wanted to get the top of the line Teknics from Jake, ala Robert's or the RC51 color scheme but I just could not tell when I'll be able to come home. Too late now, I have my set, Joe Rocket.

It is really made by Teknic. They had me try on one of Kurtis Roberts suit just to get an idea for the size and feel. I really never wanted to take the damn thing off coz' it was so comfortable feels like your just wearing jeans and shirt.

:drool: :drool: HighSide, Kangaroo leathers are way too SWEEEEEET!!!!

Jake, so these are the leathers you sell locally too right?

That Teknic Kangaroo Suit is SOOOOOO nice bro'... is that the one you said was $3K? I believe it... specially its a pro-suit, not off the shelf. How did you score that? :drool:

Here's my "adequate" Teknik lightning (down twice and still good to go)...

I wanted to get one but way out of my budget. I got a set of Lightning before, then a set of Violator both made out of cowhide. The Speedstar is made out of Kangaroo hide but will set you back $2000 for off the rack. Here is one made by Kushiitani for ducati.

How about full custom fit leathers for a 5 year old boy? I've seen some european manufacturers sell off the rack stuff for about 600$

How about this one, it is for sale, brandnew, cheap!
