Wes Cooley Yoshimura Suzuki Vintage Racing Leathers

The 1979-1980 Suzuki look

Cooley raced for Yoshimura Suzuki in the AMA series in this period, and the suit carries the blue, red and white scheme of that team. It is our own design inspired by those colours and is not made or endorsed by the rider, the team or the manufacturer. It sits in the Suzuki racing suit range and in the vintage AMA group.

Construction

The shell is drum-dyed, milled cowhide with accordion stretch panels on the back and knees and pre-curved sleeves. Inside is a breathable mesh lining and a small mesh pocket on the left chest. The 2-piece pants close with silver snap buttons.

Picking between the Wes Cooley suits

  • Choose this one for Suzuki and the late 1970s look.
  • The Honda 1981 suit shares the colours but follows the Honda.
  • Leather, speed hump, perforation and an extra knee slider are chosen at order.
  • Read how made to measure works if standard sizes do not fit.
