I just bought my second custom suit made by NJK leathers in San Clemente, CA. The dude made the suit start to finish in 3 weeks.

Suits are supposed to fit snugly from the beginning and take about 2 months to fully break in. Many off the shelf suits, since not designed to fit you perfectly, will be loose or tight in various areas. The custom suits will be tight in ALL areas, but once broken in will fit like a glove. I took mine to the canyons for the first time today and it was tight as shit, especially from the crotch to the shoulders. I could barely get the thing on in the AM, but was acceptable in the PM when I got home. Another 10 or so rides and it should be good.

IMO...my next suit is going to be more loose because I'm not all that flexible to begin with so I'll take the suit tearing after a crash for more flexiblity.
