FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Wes Cooley AMA racing jacket is made from 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed milled cowhide leather—the same weight and finish used in authentic race-suit construction. This thickness delivers greater abrasion resistance during slides and crashes while maintaining the flexibility needed for aggressive cornering and track-day riding. Drum-dyed milling creates a uniform colour throughout the leather's depth, so even after scuffs and light abrasion, the colour remains consistent. Cowhide at this thickness is race-grade material: it resists tearing and puncturing better than thinner alternatives, yet remains supple enough for pre-curved sleeves and mobility in the riding position.
Made-to-measure custom sizing is simple: select Custom Size from the product options Size dropdown, then complete the checkout process as normal. After your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number. Use that number to submit your body measurements via the measurement form on our website. Our team will use your measurements to build your jacket to exact specifications. Standard sizes ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation, but custom-sized orders ship in 4–6 weeks from the moment we receive and confirm your measurements. This lead time ensures precise fit and quality hand-stitched construction tailored to your body.
Yes. The Wes Cooley AMA racing jacket includes removable CE-rated armour at the shoulders and elbows (EN 1621-1:2012) and a removable spine/back protector (EN 1621-2 compatible). EN 1621-1:2012 specifies impact energy absorption and attenuation at the elbow and shoulder—the zones where riders experience the most force during crashes and slides. The back protector meets EN 1621-2 standards for spinal protection. All armour is removable, so you can adjust protection based on your track-day setup or customize the jacket for different riding scenarios. The armour sits inside the jacket and does not alter the silhouette or fit.
Standard sizes (XS–XXL for men, XXS–XL for women) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation. If you select Custom Size and submit your body measurements via the measurement form, your Suzuki yoshimura jacket ships in 4–6 weeks from the moment we confirm your measurements. This longer lead time reflects hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 and the precision required to build a race-fit jacket to your exact body dimensions. We do not hold inventory; every Wes Cooley jacket is made to order, ensuring freshness and made-to-measure quality.
Absolutely. The Wes Cooley jacket offers multiple customization options to match your track-day needs. For ventilation, choose from No Perforation, Perforated Chest, Perforated Front, or Full Perforated—ideal for summer racing and airflow control. For back protection, select No Hump, Standard Hump, Ventilated Hump, or Hydro Hump depending on your spine protector preference and track setup. You can also add matching Wes Cooley-replica gloves (sizes XS–3XL) and select your preferred colour: Blue, Red, or White to match the 1981 AMA Suzuki livery. All options are configured during checkout before your Suzuki yoshimura jacket is hand-stitched to order.
