Try http://www.advanced-wear.co.uk/

If you use DT, go in person if you can rather than use the catalogue - we did that and managed to negotiate a decent discount for two suits and helmets - more than the cosdt of getting there.

Think about made to measure - gent's suits never fit ladie's curves (or bulges in my case...) - and as for the 2 way zip ...

Having said that, I'll point Lesley Sheridan to this thread to see if she can add anything - she's got a nice fitting suit and I think she got it off the peg but I'm not sure where from

If she ends up with one which doesn't quite fit, the clothing alteration folk next to us on Rose St, Aberdeen have altered a few Sparco's (No - they haven't let out mine G4!)

They advised they've got the correct fire retardant thread etc - worth a thought if all else fails

You see how us lady drivers stick together?! Lesley doesn't have a PH id but said

"I'm not able to post a reply on Pistonheads, but I bought it from Sabelt direct. I called the factory in the north of England and spoke to Dave, who was very helpful. I gave him my measurements and he ordered me a suitable size of suit (which was not readily available) so it was made to order in Italy and shipped over. Took ages though so the sooner you order, the better!"

hope this helps!!
