New Suit alterations? Who?

I got a new Dainese Laguna Suit on the way but regardless of the suit manufacturer, suits never fit me right unless it’s a custom suit. I have stubby arms and legs and a long torso. So do we have anyone here that I can take measurements and they tailor the suit to fit me better? As of now the chest will fit, but the waist will be way too big and be arms and legs too long.

Recommendations?

 

Barnicle bill

Or

Sportbike leather service

 

Soak it in fuel and wear it around for a couple hours itll fit.

 

I had a suit altered by (I believe the shop's name was) Lizzie’s Leather Works. She was referred to me by Alexa at the (sadly) now closed Spyder Leather Works.

 

Barnacle Bill.

 

Not sure where you are physically located at but I've also seen Todd @ Heroic alter non-Heroic suits for riders I believe.

 

Just got a patch job back from this guy and it looks great! He’s based out of Atlanta but attends some of the regional track days and races.

 

I have an odd build as well (Long torso, wide shoulders and short legs)

Barnacle bill has done a great job altering suits and jackets for me in the past.

Barnacle Bill. He's good and he'll entertain you on the phone. Funny dude. Call him. If he can make ME look good in a suit he can make anyone look good.

Had him shorten my sleeves and do some custom lettering and numbers for my suit and have nothing but great things to say about him. Turn around time, customer communication, quality of work, and the options available with what he was able to do is all top notch (I was asking for something very specific and more labor intensive to do and he pulled it off flawlessly). . .this actually reminded me that I have to get my second suit to him.

All the people listed do great work - especially with alterations. With the leg length on this suit, I'd recommend you try a pair of the "in boots" with it and see if that helps with the problem. They are designed long to work with the boots - I almost had the legs shortened (was a life long Sidi fan) and when I rode with the suit tucked in, all I wanted to do was cut it short - once I switched to the "in" boots it's perfect (the boots are great too).

 

Gawd, for the life of me I can't remember the name of the shop that does the work for Dainese here in the US. Authorized to do Dainese, Alpinestars and some others.

I'll try and find the name later, after coffee.

 

Might be Anthony's Leatherworks on the left coast. I had them do recolor and custom patches/lettering plus repair
and I hafta say the work is better than any I've seen before. Pricier than BB and Sportbike Leather Dan, but I cannot fault the workmanship.
They are working on a shredded Astars for me right now.

 

my website is gone( my webmaster retired but I can work the facebook page myself. . I get all my work through facebook anyway and the website was dialed into the custom suits I built. Barnacle Bill's Leather Repair on Facebook ( before and after pics are there). Give a holler if you decide to send it in ( but that's your call ) (Lizzie is out of business now about 18 months. I bought what supplies she had left.) . I like to have a suit marked up while the rider is in it. I'll tell you how. measurements are Ok but doesn't work as well as actually marking the suit while you're in it. sounds like you may need the knees and elbows raised and the rise shortened? Thanks for the referrals guys. appreciate it. B Bill and Darethea
