About Bleed Racing Gears

Yes. We are a registered business with a US office at 10105 Lefferts Blvd, South Richmond Hill, New York, NY 11419. We design and sell custom motorcycle leather suits, jackets, gloves and boots, and you can reach a real person by phone, email or WhatsApp during business hours.

Every suit and jacket is handcrafted in our own workshop in Sialkot, Pakistan, one of the world's best-known centres for leather and motorsport gear. Our customer-service and returns office is in New York, USA.

This is how we offer hand-tailored, made-to-measure gear at a factory-direct price, without a middle layer of distributors.

No. We manufacture our own gear to order. Each suit is cut and built from scratch to your measurements and design, not pulled from a warehouse or forwarded from a third-party seller.

Custom motorcycle leather racing suits (1-piece and 2-piece), MotoGP-style race suits, armoured leather motorcycle jackets, classic and cafe racer leather jackets, racing gloves, leather riding boots and matching accessories, for both men and women.

Yes. Every suit, armoured jacket, glove and boot can be made in a women's fit, including 1-piece race suits, ladies 2-piece leathers and women's MotoGP-style suits, all built to your own measurements.

Yes. Visit our Production Gallery to see real photos of our workshop, team and suit-making process. We share genuine images, not stock photography.

Yes. You can read customer reviews with photos on our product pages and in the reviews tab on the right side of every product page, plus independent reviews on Trustpilot and Yelp.

Absolutely. Call +1 (929) 465-8226, message us on WhatsApp at +1 (929) 408-2571, or email info@bleedracinggears.com. We're available Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST, and WhatsApp is usually the fastest.

Custom Orders & Design

Choose your product and options (leather, fit, colours, perforation, logos and so on) and place your order. Our team then contacts you for your exact measurements, prepares a design mockup and starts production once you approve it.

Yes. For custom designs we send you a mockup to approve before production starts, so you can confirm colours, layout and logo placement.

Almost everything: leather type, fit (regular, slim or relaxed), colours, perforation, stretch material, names, numbers and logos, hump size, lining, 1-piece or 2-piece, and matching gloves and boots.

Yes. Send us reference photos, a sketch or just your idea, and we'll prepare a mockup to match it as closely as possible. We'll tell you upfront if any element can't be reproduced exactly.

Yes. We add names, numbers, sponsor logos and custom graphics with professional leather patch work or printing. Just send us the logo files and where you want them placed.

Yes. Send us your bike's colour scheme or a photo and we'll design the suit to match it.

Yes. We build MotoGP-style race suits across several seasons, including women's versions, each made to your measurements. You can also have any design personalised with your own name and number.

Yes. Every design can be built as a 1-piece suit or a 2-piece suit. Our 2-piece suits have a connecting zipper so the jacket and trousers attach securely for track use.

The listed price is the base price. Optional upgrades such as kangaroo leather or Schoeller-Keprotec stretch panels only add cost when you select them, and any extra is shown clearly before checkout. No hidden charges.

Yes, if production hasn't started. Contact us right away. Once production begins (after the 24-hour cancellation window), changes may not be possible.

Sizing & Fit

For a race suit we strongly recommend custom measurements. A properly fitted suit keeps the armour over the right joints and doesn't bunch or shift in a crash. Standard sizes are available on our Size Guides page.

After you order, we send a measurement guide covering chest, waist, hips, arm length, inseam, height, weight and more. Use a soft tape measure over light clothing, keep it level and snug (not tight), and ask us if anything is unclear. Accurate measurements are the most important step.

Yes. Every suit is made to measure, so long arms, long legs, a short torso, an athletic build or a larger frame are all fitted properly instead of being forced into a standard size.

If your custom suit doesn't match the measurements you gave us because of a manufacturing error, our Fitment Guarantee covers a free modification or a full replacement.

Snug. A race suit is cut for the forward riding position, so it can feel tight standing upright. That's intentional. It should hold the armour in place with no loose leather, without restricting movement on the bike. Leather also softens and moulds to you after a few rides.

Yes. Men's and women's fits are both available, in Regular, Slim or Relaxed, plus full custom sizing for either.

Yes. Our suits can be cut with room for an airbag vest underneath. Tell us which vest you ride with when you order so we can allow for it in your measurements.

Go custom. Made-to-measure removes the guesswork of falling between standard sizes. Contact us and we'll guide you.

Yes. On a custom 2-piece order the jacket and trousers are each built to your own measurements.

Tell us before production begins and we'll adjust. Once production starts we build to the measurements provided, so it's best to order when your weight is stable.

Protection, Leather & Materials

CE Level 2 certified armour at the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and back, supplied by a specialist protection maker. Level 2 is the higher of the two CE impact ratings. The protectors are removable for cleaning and replacement.

CE Level 2 is the higher impact-protection rating for motorcycle armour under the EN 1621 standard. It passes less force through to your body in an impact than Level 1 armour.

Genuine grade-A top-grain cowhide, 1.3–1.4 mm thick, as standard. Kangaroo leather (0.8–0.9 mm) is available as a premium upgrade. It's lighter and more flexible while staying very strong, which is why professional racers favour it. We never use bonded or PU leather.

Every suit is triple safety stitched with high-strength bonded thread, with reinforced stitching on high-stress seams so the seams don't burst open during a slide.

Yes. Our suits are built for track riding, with abrasion-resistant top-grain leather, triple stitching, CE Level 2 armour, an aero hump option and replaceable knee sliders. We recommend checking your track or club's specific gear requirements before an event.

Original YKK zippers at the front, cuffs and ankles; a breathable polyester mesh lining with two inside pockets (removable on request); and stretch panels at the crotch, calves, underarms and lower back. Schoeller-Keprotec stretch is available as an upgrade.

Yes. Removable outer knee sliders with Velcro attachment are included, so you can swap them when they wear down.

Yes. A CE-approved aerodynamic hump is available in small, medium or large, and perforation can be full, partial or on selected panels to suit your climate.

Yes. Ventilated chest protection can be added to many suits. Just mention it during customisation.

Yes. A removable CE-approved back protector is included with our suits.

Shipping, Delivery & Customs

Yes. Shipping by DHL or FedEx Express is free to the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. For other countries, contact us before ordering and we'll do our best to arrange delivery.

Every order is made for you, so delivery time is production plus shipping.

Production: 14–21 business days for custom suits, 3–5 business days for standard-size items.

Shipping: 5–7 business days to the USA and Canada, 7–10 business days to Europe and Australia. That's about 19–28 business days in total for a custom suit and 8–12 for standard items.

Yes. Expedited shipping is available for $60, which cuts transit to 3–5 business days after production. If you have a race or event date, tell us and we'll let you know honestly whether it's achievable.

Orders ship directly from our workshop in Sialkot, Pakistan, by DHL or FedEx Express, both fully tracked.

When your order is dispatched you'll get an email with your DHL or FedEx tracking number. Tracking can take 24–48 hours to activate. If it still isn't updating after that, email info@bleedracinggears.com.

Possibly. Depending on your country and the order value, customs duties or import taxes may apply on delivery. These are set by your government, not by us, and are paid by the customer. We never add handling fees on top.

Any duty on US orders is set by US Customs (CBP) and is the recipient's responsibility. Customs processing can also add a few days to delivery.

Yes, if the order hasn't shipped. Contact us immediately. Once the package is dispatched the address can't be changed.

All prices are in US dollars (USD). Your bank converts to your local currency at checkout. European customers may owe local VAT or duties on delivery.

Eligible standard items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. They must be unworn and unused, in original condition with tags and packaging, with proof of purchase.

Custom items made to your measurements or with your name, logos or colours can't be returned for change of mind, because they can't be resold. If anything is wrong because of our error, you're fully covered by our Fitment Guarantee and damaged-item policy.

Email info@bleedracinggears.com with photos within 48 hours of delivery. If the error is ours, we cover return shipping and you choose a full refund or a free replacement.

If the item is defective or incorrect, we pay. For change-of-mind returns on standard items, the customer pays return shipping to our New York office. We don't charge restocking fees.

Email info@bleedracinggears.com with your order number and reason. We reply within 1–2 business days with instructions. Please don't ship anything back before you receive authorisation.

We don't process direct exchanges. Return your eligible item and, once it's approved, place a new order for the item you want.

Jackets, Gloves, Boots & Care

Our racing and sport leather jackets come with CE Level 2 armour and can be made for men or women. Our classic and cafe racer jackets are style-focused riding jackets without armour. Each product page says which type it is.

Yes. Our racing gloves and leather riding boots can be ordered on their own, or colour- and design-matched to your suit.

Yes. They include reinforced protection at the key impact zones. Contact us for the exact details on a specific model.

Yes. We make matching custom gear for racing teams, clubs and retailers, with no fixed minimum. Email info@bleedracinggears.com or WhatsApp us with the products, quantities and design details for a quote.

Take out the armour, wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat. Never machine wash the leather shell.

Apply a quality leather conditioner a few times a year, and after heavy use or rain, to keep the hide supple and stop it cracking. Store the suit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Let it dry naturally at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun, then condition the leather once it's dry.

Inspect it carefully. If the leather, seams or armour are damaged, replace the affected parts, because protection can be reduced after a serious impact. Contact us about repairs or replacement armour and sliders.

Yes. We can keep your measurements on record. Just send us your previous order number and we'll rebuild the same suit, or update the design.
