I just received my dainese Dair suit from motowheels.com. This fits great except the sleeves are a bit long for me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a legit professional leather tailor who could be trusted to make oem quality tailoring? I know of a guy in California but was hoping for someone in the north east. Thanks.

She fixed up my Dainese suit really nice after a bad crash at Summit Point.

Thanks! I want it to look oem after the tailoring. I had a local leather guy do the sleeves on my Astar suit and it looked pretty ....... Dainese recommended a guy in Cali, trying avoid expensive shipping as I just dropped a bit on this suit.
 
I've considered stretching a different part of my anatomy. Haha
If I only had the cash for that slip on you had awhile back, I bet that would have done the trick.
 
Hey wfoduck, curious because I was worried the sleeves would be too short.

What's your height/weight and what size suit did you order? How does the rest of it fit?
 
I believe the guy from heroic race suits repairs dianese he's located in long Island nice guy it will probaly b cheaper as far as shipping is concerned

This fits like it was tailored for me! With the exception of the sleeves it's unbelievable!
I have pics in the Dair thread.
 
+1 on Lizzy Leathers. she did an awesome job on mine. I needed a longer back. She was at VIR so I dropped them off after the race weekend was over. She mailed them back in a week. Perfect you couldn't even tell she altered it inside or out. Fantastic work.
 
In the DC area bedo leathers does great work and not cheap but again awesome work I also use barnacle bill here are a few photos of bills work I ride in my leather s a lot on the street so I need pockets and additional sleeve length.
its not sexy but very functional my local guy would have done the job for double the cost but it would look like it came from the manufacturers but I got the suit very cheap so I needed a cheaper route dc
