Track suits

Whatever suit you end up getting, if it's brand new, make sure it fits super-tight. Like almost to the point that you can't get the zipper closed. And when you do, you feel like you can't breathe.

The leather will eventually stretch over time due to heat+sweat and if you get one that's slightly loose, it will end up as baggy as a 2010 rapper's pants after a few track days. Which would be neither safe or sightly. Friction burns hurt.

After you get your new, overly-tight leather suit, wear it around the house during the pre-season to stretch it out. Use mink oil as well to help with the process.

If you're buying used, then get one that fits.

John Bickle is THE man when it comes to anything leather. He won't use anything but Feibings leather care. Don't put anything on your leather, that you wouldn't put on your own skin.
Gloves. Very often overlooked. I know two people that have lost part of their pinkie because their gloves tore or came off. Gloves with the pinkie sewn to the ring finger help a lot. Expect to pay a lot.

Wiped out going wide and deep into some gravel. Hurt was my left pinky( little bruised) . If wasn't for my glove's pinky sewed to the next finger it would have been busted up real good. thanks Astars!
