I don't see any Syed leathers this far outwest but the custom Vanson suits I've seen are really nice stuff.

As far as getting a big needles and threads and stitch up your own, you can do that, but can you really get to the seam? If you can then knock yourself out. Most of the times, they have to open up the suit, take the lining out and then stitch the seams up from the inside, and that's where Z Custom is telling me that they are having problems with a lot of the newer suits.
