I messaged Jason last year didn't get a reply, not sure if he's still selling the Arlen Ness stuff. But Motovan is their distributor so anyone who deals with them should be able to get Arlen Ness.
Based on his FB pics I'm not too sure he's even still in Canada.

You can keep an eye out for clearance items too. A few months ago I went in to Inglis and they had snapped up a bunch of Suomy suits on liquidation from Thibault and were blowing them out at $500ish. Can't recall exactly, but definitely a good deal.
