All of what Daryl said is good info. To add to it, I think it is really important to try on suits before you order something on-line. All of these suits have odd sizing, and it would suck to get a suit that is just a little too tight in the crotch or the sleeves are just a bit too short. Also remember that unlike a shirt or pair of pants, this suit should last you for 10 years, so imagine what that beer gut will look like down the road, and buy accordingly.

I just bought a Sparco Sprint 5 suit. I looked at all of the stuff on-line, but finally went to Wine Country Motorsports (at Sears Point) and tried them on. They have racing seats in there, so I was able to sit as I would in a race car. As it turns out, I would have ordered the wrong size on-line. Sparco dealers aren't "allowed' to discount Sparco stuff, but I managed to get out the door for $387 includng tax (suit retails for $399). Plus I was supporting the "local guy".

Most blood banks will tell you your blood type if you donate blood. Having your name/blood type embroidered on your suit will cost $5. Not a bad idea.
