I worked in the needle industry for several years as an industrial embroidery machine tech for a Japanese co. named Barudan. It's quite a process to take a roll of fabric off a truck and turn it into a wearable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-GjOowLhY   To think I used to spend 40 hrs. + every week in front of or traveling to one of these bastards

Interesting video!  Thanks for posting.  Great company!  Ordered my R3 last Spring.  I'm very happy with it.

Very cool thanks for posting. I love my R3

I am fortunate to be of average size because my Olympia one piece riding suit was about 25% the cost of an Aerostich.

Not cheap, but beautifully designed, and very well made.

I like mine.

I just today scored a used R3 in like new condition for $225. For real! Silver or grey with black . Fits me way better than my old ratty crash experienced Roadcrafter.
Color scheme matches my Norge, hope I can get that started before spring🙂

Very interesting and enjoyable video.  I drove four hours round trip to try on a used Roadcrafter.  It was just too small.  Eventually I bought a Transit in black.  I love it. Given the expertise and equipment needed to build these suits I don’t think the prices are out of line. I just wish the Transit were American made like the textile suits.

I just wish for the price you could get a custom made to order suit or jacket from them.
