Custom stitched arm restraints onto driving suit sleeves.

Post by TroyV » Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:08 pm

I have seen a few instructors that have had this done. Essentially, I want to have the denier straps with the loops stitched to the suit sleeves so that all I have to do is clip on the restraints to my harness buckle and go.....as a time saving measure.

Does anyone here have a contact for someone that can do it without destroying the suit?

Thanks in advance.

Ioport in CA did a custom sized race suit for me several years ago. They are worth asking.

I used to have a pair of gauntlet gloves that has the loops sewn in, that put the loops mid forearm. That worked very well and I had clips on the end of my straps so I could just clip on when needed. I haven't found any gloves like that since, but I miss them.
It might be cheaper or easier to have gloves modified than a suit.
