Best racing suit modification go to source?

    So I bought a custom kangaroo suit that was specifically made for paralyzed riders with two full length zippers making getting into and out of the suit much easier for us. That was before I started riding all the crazy handcycle miles. Now, the shoulders and arms are massively too tight. Everything from mid chest down is fine. The arms are especially tight. Feels like the stretch fabric is going to explode. I think I need 1" added to the width of the arm areas and 2" to the shoulders. Who is the latest go to source for this type of modification?

    I'd go back to manufacturer.

    Most custom suits are measured here and then built other places so I doubt that's a option.
    To answer ops question, I'm sending my suit to sport bike leather service to try them out

    I got Vanson suit, built in the states. Had to send back 2x but got it perfect.

    Give One X a call. I just got a custom suit from them and Daniel said repairs and alterations are no problem.

    Location is the key. Find a local person. Or get measured and send to bill. Z leathers can sort you out in LA.

    Anthony's Leatherworks if you're on the west coast. They do a bunch of stuff for Dainese and Alpinestars. I got an off-the-rack suit modified by them before I started going custom. Excellent results. MotoAmerica did a YouTube video with them a few months ago.
