Custom Race Suits

A custom race suit is engineered as a single-piece garment with reinforced armor panels at shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips for comprehensive impact protection during high-speed track sessions. Standard jackets offer basic abrasion resistance but lack the integrated armor structure and close-to-body fit required for sanctioned racing. Custom race suits from Leather Collection use kangaroo leather with CE-rated armor placement tailored to your exact measurements via our Made-to-Measure service. The hand-stitched seams and removable armor panels let you adjust protection levels for different tracks and rule sets. This precision design reduces bulk while maintaining responsive movement and seam integrity across extended track days.

Hand-stitched seams distribute tension more evenly across the stitch line, reducing stress concentration points that cause machine-sewn seams to fail under abrasion. Each stitch is individually locked, creating redundancy—if one stitch breaks, adjacent stitches maintain seam integrity. Machine-sewn seams rely on continuous tension through a single thread path, making them vulnerable to catastrophic failure when abraded. Leather Collection's hand-crafted seams use full-grain leather and reinforced stitching at high-stress zones like shoulders, elbows, and knees. Since 2009, our hand-stitched construction has proven durable across 50+ countries and countless track days. Proper care—brushing seams monthly and storing suits dry—preserves seam strength and surface finish between seasons.

Yes. Leather Collection offers fully customizable race suits with CE-rated armor panels positioned to your exact specifications. Start with our Size Guide to capture chest, waist, hips, inseam, and height. Then use our Made-to-Measure builder to select kangaroo or cowhide leather, choose armor thickness, adjust ventilation panel placement, and add custom colors or team patches. Each suit is hand-stitched to your measurements, ensuring a close-to-body fit that supports responsive movement without compromising protection. Custom race suits ship within 3–4 weeks from order confirmation. Our 4.8 Trustpilot rating reflects the precision fit and durability riders experience across track seasons.

Kangaroo leather is better for lap time performance due to its lightweight properties and superior grip characteristics without bulk, allowing faster body movement transitions through corners. Cowhide offers greater abrasion resistance and durability for riders prioritizing maximum protection across multi-round seasons. For amateur track days, kangaroo leather from Leather Collection reduces fatigue during extended sessions while maintaining excellent impact protection through strategically placed CE armor. Both materials feature full-grain quality and hand-stitched construction designed for responsive movement and seam integrity. Your choice depends on track length, session duration, and personal preference for protection versus lightweight feel. Our Made-to-Measure service lets you select leather type as part of your custom build.

Use Leather Collection's Size Guide to measure chest (at fullest point), waist (natural waist line), hips (at fullest point), inseam (inside leg from crotch to ankle bone), and height (without shoes). Measure while wearing a fitted long-sleeve shirt for accuracy. These five dimensions are captured during the Made-to-Measure ordering process before hand-stitching begins. Proper measurements ensure the suit fits close to your body—essential for control and responsiveness on the track. Our craftsmen have 15+ years of expertise matching measurements to performance-ready fits. If you have questions about measurement accuracy, our 24-hour support team can guide you through the process to guarantee the race suit delivers the precision fit and mobility required for confident lap times.
