Had these custom made/fitted here in Korea.:thumbsup: They did an excellent job and they were incredibly cheap for a custom fit suit. I guess I could have been a little more original with the design but, I love Taichi leathers.

RS Tiachi are good leathers. What did they end up costing you?

in korea they will make you anything you want from scratch, you just go through a mag point to it, they take measurements and walah 2 days later you have exactly what you wanted down to the brand tag on the collar, for a hell of a lot cheaper

Haha! I would hook you guys up but, I'm outta here in about a month and it takes about that long for a custom built suit.

They were made completely from scratch to my preference. They fit like a glove and are much higher quality than the cheap, thin leathers you can buy for about the same price online. Top quality 1.7mm cowhide throughout.

In the end I paid $500 total. I could have had them made for cheaper elsewhere here in Korea but, the quality difference right down to the stitching was far superior where I bought them. Some of the leather guys here use thin cotton thread and only single stitch seams. I must have looked at 20 different leather shops here before I made up my mind. One guy offered to make me a plain jane black suit for $189. It was hard to overcome my cheapness on that one and get a good set made but, in the end, I'm happy I went the route I did.

Korean's copy everything. Copy rights and patents are not in their vocabulary.

Nice outfit. The sleeves look slightly short. Good fit when you grip the bike ?
