Altering Suit

[luffy]

Hi Guys, Although I'm not doing track days... yet, I do have a question for those of you with 1 pc suits.

I picked up a Joe Rocket, 1 peice leather suit that I plan to use for more "spirited" rides. Due to my cycling training, I'm pretty calf and quad heavy, so the one that fit me best is a 42. The only thing I'm finding now is that its quite loose across the shoulders and in the bicep area. Now aside from gaining he-man like muscles that will do nothing but make me slower on hills, what are my options for a have a pre-existing suit re-sized?

I would gather cost is dependent on how many seams/ materials etc. need to be altered, but does anyone have a rough idea of what this would cost?

I'm guess about an 1 of inch material needs to be removed from the bicep area and about an 1 1 .5" off the total width of the back,

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Adam,

You'll want to talk to John Bickle of Bickle Racing ... he is the suit alteration guru.

As mentioned, John Bickle (bickleracing.com) is your best bet.
He did a great job on my suit when he added almost 2" to the legs.

However, with racing season on, he is VERY busy and he might take a while to get it done.

Adam.

I see you are in Oakville.

You could try Ivan at IM leathers in Hamilton. I've sent many there with good success.

Racing suits is 80%+ of his business, and he is a nice guy to deal with.

Cheers.

it'll take months for Ivan to complete anything however.

John Bickle is your best option!
