youre a lil taller and weigh a lil less so ur waist size is prolly a bit smaller. i dont know what 60 is in us but 46 in us fit me snug but not tight.

yeah i know. custom shit is expensive. especial leather suits. is the 60 tight or loose? or just snug bc i want to be snug but on the loose side so i have good movement. if you know the conversion that would be great.

there are many leather companies that will make you a perfect fit suit...off the top of my head are Vanson, Helimot, Z leathers. All are TOP quality.

Have you tried z custom leathers? My brother bought a custom suit, boots and gloves for about $1300. Doesn't leave much for a helmet, but you could pick up a KBC Racer-1 helmet for about $250 if you shop around. Give them a shout.

I personally own a custom suit by Zooni, but the funny thing is, I have Vanilla Gorilla embriodered on the back of it.

I went through the same thing. I'm 6'4" and 280 lbs.
I got the joe rocket speedmaster 2 pcs suit. It has a 360 deg zipper and is track legal as well. The size 54 (euro) jacket and 42 (us size) pants were the right fit for me. Watch your inseam or the knee pucks will be on you ankles.

Oh and if you can find your size you might catch a deal since they are an off size. Thats how I got mine @ motoxoutlet.com

How about these leathers

or if you want higher quality, go with Kangaroo
By the way, I'm not far from Hacienda Heights. I go through HACIENDA to get to the 60 Freeway all the time. Let'z Roll
