My old SFI /5 jacket is showing its age and I am going to buy a new one for next season. I am thinking of spending a little more and getting a real nice one. Who sells nice custom SFI racing jackets?

Captain had some custom embroidery work done on it

I am thinking of spending some more money for a few speacial features like custom fit, name embroidery, epaulets, and maybe a sleeve like this pic.

When I bought mine I filled out a size sheet... but
I was told to go a little larger in certain areas
like my motorcycle jacket... the sleeves are a little
longer so when you have your hands on the wheel it
covers right to the wrist... the panels in the shoulders
is nice(I dont have them)

I have been looking for some time now.I prefer to purchase AMERICAN MADE products,but it will cost a few hundred more to do so.I am leaning towards Simpson Racing.How often do /5 jackets & pants have to be recerted or replaced?? Will Summit honor the Pro discount AND the Summit code discount on the same purchase??

Call the Biondo's and get a Sparco. I need to do the same thing. They are very nicely made and I am sure they can take care of you..

/5 suits don't need to be recerted at this point in time.

You can use both the Summit Pro discount & the code fors the same order

Casey, you gave me an idea Melissa want's a pink racing suit having a hard time finding someone that makes the color pink. Have purple, yellow, orange but not pink. I will have to give Pam & Eddie a call. See what they can come up with for me. thanks for the idea. I didn't think they sold custom made. Any of you other guys looking for one I would give them a call they are a good group of people to deal with. You can trust them. Give them a call. Tell the Casey and the Kwast family recommend them to you.

Please tell me where the Original Poster said it has to be American made? I was replying to his post. I did not see yours at the time. He states he is looking for a suit from what I read. Put up a link to the best suits out there IMO. You just love to stir the pot dont ya

BTW I believe there stuff is all made overseas, Europe somewhere IIRC Not sure what is American made these days. If you find a place making a quality jacket and pants please do share. I woudl prefer to patronize an american made company but that is getting harder and harder anymore.

China is gonna take over the world without ever firing a shot.........

Al,it seems no matter what I say,it's concidered Simpson makes most of thier stuff here in the US,some of the shoes & gloves come from Asia.I try to buy AMERICAN when there is a choice,sometimes there is just no choice

I agree. Do you have a Simpson suit or are you looking? I am happy with what I have but been thinking of getting new stuff.

Buying American sure aint easy anymore..

Thanks,
I will check them out. From their web site:
The comfort comes from the softest nomex available used in jackets costing twice as much and the fully gusseted shoulders for greater arm mobility.
