Custom Racing Jackets (SFI /5) - Who sells them? - 12/12/10 03:00 PM

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?

A few years back I bought mine from Captain Nemo (use
to be on here)... its a Deist 2 piece suit and the
Captain had some custom embroidery work done on it
this is of my shirts but its the same

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.

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.

And their overall look (black and gray combo).
And the pants have the internal sealing cuff, with external NASCAR look boot cover.
"and the pants feature a stylish boot cut design with internal cuffs, internal pockets "

Yes Casey I'm finding every color but something with some pink. We are taking her helmet to the paint shop this week and they are going to pink her helment pink. lol she said she wanted something pink. lol so I guess her helment will do. That one jacket looked pink and black was it? I went to web site did not list pink and black. That would match her shoes lol.
SHHHHHHHH casey it is a secret lol
