What brand of suit do you prefer? Who is easy and knowledgeable to deal with?

Please do your homework and buy the best suit that you can. It blows my mind the number of times that I have seen a person show up with an expensive wrap on their car, a fully loaded mule, an enormously large enclosed trailer, and they are wearing a 10 year old fire suit that has holes and oil stains on it. It never made any sense to me that this would be the item that they saved money on.

I've never had a new suit, but have always wore Simpson. Probably will stay with them when i'd buy a new suit.

Hinchman, Nancy and Joe are the best. Great personal service and back and suit made right here in Indianapolis.

Highly recommend calling Steve Thomas Racing out of Illinois and ordering a Alliance Suit through him. The alliance stuff is really nice, custom sized, full embroidery, with arm restraints built in double layer SFI 5. I believe the last suit that we ordered was around $800. Was less expensive with all the options already in place to build it how you want it. This was our 2nd suit from Alliance, and plan on ordering another one here in the next couple weeks.
