For a waist line of 112 cm, I havnt received them yet but that is because he had to order them in that size for me. I am expecting them in about 2 weeks.
Hope this helps.

Im pretty sure Ray Quincey(not that i would shop there) in Melb have a large selection of second hand track day suits, not too sure if there 1 or 2 piece probably worth a call?

O know if yr a racer (or know one who's licence you can use) you can buy a brand new set of collins race leathers for @700 i think from memory.

He asks you to take a set of body measurements, and he is very accurate with his sizing, and if it's not right he just sends ya another one no problem all at his cost. Cool.

give Dave a call on 0412 213 885. they are Qld based and very reputable. I know several racers who have crashed heavily in Collins suits and they hold together extremely well. Hope this helps.

i spoke to the dude from Collins leathers about i siut.
When i asked him about the race licence he said that theres no way he can check if you have one.
This was about 3 weeks ago and the suits were about 8 weeks away.

One thing i found with leathers is you have to try them on. some i tried the accual size was different to the tag. For example if i tried 2 size 42 suits both would be different. I was told as this is cause some are hand made.

i tried on about 10 suits till i found the one that fitted me best and i found most comforable.

I purchased a dainese 2 piece suit a couple of weeks back, fitted like a glove very happy with it. Cost $1300.00 thou.

I've JUST received a suit from these guys. Looks good - tighter than a glove at the moment, as they're expected to stretch. In about a month I should have a perfect-fitting custom suit (time will tell!). Looks the biz tho - and you can pick any daggy colours you like.

If you are interested, PM me, and I'll give you some more details. About $700-$850 for a suit, depending on features, style.

DONT bid any higher than his base price, he sells em for that to anyone

if you dont win it at $550, then get in touch with him by e-mail and he'll sell them to you for that. Craig is the blokes name and he's tops to deal with. the leathers are nothing on dainese etc but PLENTY good for the money, you wont get gear that good for that price unless you get real lucky on the second hand market
