Anders, this suit is cool. Can you give more details on the process working with Stand 21 to do this? I'm reading their website and it talks about emroidery minimums of 6, etc., which I assume you are not doing (only one suit).

The process for me was to call Peter in Stockholm, head over there to feel the qualities and decide what I want. Then we took 8-9 measurements that anyone should be able to do and entered the measurements on the printed sheet. Everything was exactly like Peter told me and looking back I could have just ordered it all over the phone/e-mail.
On the website there is a section with pictures of suites, it is a bit misleading that not all models (ST3000 for example) are there for all suits but I was told that I could pick any one. Then I choose the colours for the different sections (it's clickable) and had a friend do the graphics. I was told that I could use any pictures/graphics I wanted and they'll stitch it on the suit. I got the impression that almost all suits they sell are one-offs.
I can highly recommend contacting Stand21 in Sweden, very good to deal with and very high quality. If you want to contact them directly PM me for their info.

I also had my suit custom made by them....expensive yet worth it for the st3000 as you can feel it breathing even while driving....very quick drying time on the hanger and the stretch material is very nice and light. Makes my old sparco feel like a 3 layer winter quilt!

I had help from testarossa_td here on the forum to make the design, what do you guys think of it?
Edit: Pic of the suit IRL. Fits great!
