Just ordered my first one piece suit, the Teiz Lombard V3, on closeout for $250. Quality of the suit is every bit as good as anything else I've had from Buell, Triumph, Joe Rocket, Fieldsheer, Cortech, etc. Now for the best part of the deal, nothing short of the best customer service I've ever had. I ordered on Tuesday, got it in Thursday. After trying it on I realized I needed to go up one size. Emailed him, he replied right away giving me the return address and said he'd ship the new one out by the next day! I dropped off the return at FedEx Friday, he shipped my new one on Friday also and I got it today. Fit is good enough, will be better when I drop a few pounds I've regained this year. It's also a bit long, but with boots and gloves in riding position it's good. They do custom fit stuff, but for the price difference ($399 for the Lombard V3 plus $100 for the made to fit, still a hell of a deal IMO) I'm pretty sure this one is a keeper. If you're in the market for a suit, check 'em out, especially if he has a V3 left in your size. |

I have a one piece Teiz mesh suit. They are good quality and value. Read several online reviews before ordering and the concensus was to order one size larger. I did and it worked out great. Mine is also a bit long. My wife hemmed the rear bottom of each leg. Front just gathers on the top of my boots. |

Took me several weeks (after receiving the suit back) and a complaint to Paypal to get my money back after they assured me the suit would fit after looking at my measurements. Of course the suit didn't fit, wasn't even close. Lost $50 in shipping to them and certainly not happy. |

Interesting. Did you order off the rack or have them do a custom suit for you? |

Suggestion: It's good to have this kind of info in the KV apparel section also, so it does not get buried |

After many emails I was told the off the rack suit should be great. Trust me a spent a bunch of time on this and received a suit that was anything but usable. The cost to get the off the rack altered was going to be the return shipping plus adding about the cost of the original garment to the purchase. The sleeves were not tapered so down at the cuffs was a huge amount of fabric, same for the legs. It was just a thoroughly worthless garment and I felt deceived all the way after receiving it. I ended up with off the rack Tourmaster Flex2 and Flex that fit better and cost less without any hassle. If going for a custom I would probably go through Spartan Leather (pretty sure they have their textile suit now). |
