Any major jumpsuit maker can hook you up with all the info you need. You can't go wrong with any of the biggies. Go to your local gear store and have them measure you and order locally. For you... go up to Perris and design a suit and be measured on site. Look at if you need booties, comp gripers, re-enforced knees/bumm before hand and it won't take more then 20 minues and the suit will be ordered.

Well...I have one observation to add. You might know that I have a Michigan suit. You might also know that I was rather pissed that it took 86 days to get to me. What you might not know is how good the quality is. It is very good. You may have seen my infamous "Coach Jump" video...LMAO. It's probably up at www.freeflytim.com Anyway...I have lots of flames on the arms and legs. They all have DOUBLE rows of stitching. Which was #1 a shitload of work. #2 Very good quality.
My only experience comparing it to another suit cloesly is a Tony suit a guy at my DZ has. He also has LOTS of flames on his suit. Well....they only did a single row of stitching. Now after a few months it is already coming apart in a few places. Not bad...but none the less.....I have to say that the quality of Michigan is first rate. My suit was $335 which is right on par with most and cheaper than several. Best thing to do is look at suits at your DZ and ask around. Takl to people that have several hundred jumps on a suit and see how they have held up. They all look nice out of the box. It's several hundred jumps later when the quality really shows.

We absolutely do NOT need any trolls in the "specified" forums. As for specific jumpsuits, there is another thread almost exactly the same as this one either in this or the RW forum.

My comp suit preference for the past six years has been the Michigan, but I was a Tony Suit Pit Special user before that. I also have two Paraclete suits that kick ass.
