Have you checked the price on a set of a Dainese 1-piece made-in-Pakistan/made-in-Estonia shit lately?

A properly made 2-piece suit looks funny because the jacket tends to cut really short at the waist. If the jacket were to be cut to look like a regular jacket then it wouldn't attach to the pants right. Most cheap 2-piece suits have a flap of nylon or cloth with the zippers sewn into them and that's how they attached to each to each other. The Z Custom 2-piece suit has heavy brass zippers sewn directly onto leathers.

yea, my teknic 2piece is the same way-big plastic zipper to the leather, and the jacket hangs down past the zipper.
dainese is nice-but i meant when i was looking at custom suits, what i wanted was around 8-900 bucks. bates or vanson, dont remember which company. and crazy, that wasnt directed towards you. was asking the o.p. |

Vanson is definitely not cheap. A custom suit from Vanson is probably around $2000 and Bates should price closely with Z Custom and NJK (all in SoCal).
