    your best bet may be letting the old suit out. if you can still get into it put it on but don't try to zip it up. instead measure the gap between the two zipper halves. that will tell your leather how much to let it out. the shoulders , arms and thighs will let out proportionately to those measures. I see you're in canada. better to find someone locally. hope that helps . bill and darethea

    Check with John Bickle at Bickle Racing He might be able to make your current suit fit you better.

    Or, you could use the cheapest solution : get on that mountain bike in your garage and push on those pedals :D

    How much room do you need? It would be cheapest to lose the weight.

    I've got an old alpinestars sp-1 hanging in the closet. It's a 48/58 but fits like a 50/60. I had the legs and arms adjusted a little for me, I'm 5'9 and 235, I was 260 and wearing that suit. If you think it'll fit or at the very least cost you little to get it to fit, you can have it for the cost of shipping. Let me know

    if anything, buy an even smaller suit and cut until it fits. anybody hooking you up with a "fat pants" suit isn't doing you any favors :moon: :p

    This is what I did. Got a new Axo suit that was too small and started trying to lose weight till I could get into it. I still have more to go, but the first time I got it on and zipped was AWESOME.
