*Update* Custom suit finished

After four months of waiting my made to measure Dainese Laguna Seca evo, race suit is finally finished!
I decided to treat myself after the connection zipper on my leather pants finally broke, my long torso pushed that zipper to its limits!
Also I had money left over by buying a used bike and not new! Makes sense to me
The suit is race fit and I'm still breaking it in but it fits perfectly. Being tall and having to deal with short waist and sleeves on my jackets was something I just dealt with. This is awesome!
I'll report back after the weather around here improves and I can get a ride in.

What is your impression about the sizing from the standard to the new suit (apart from the obvious) - similar?
Also, if I may ask, how much more is this compared to a standard suit?

I'm 6'3", overall I'm thin but, I have been a weightlifter for years, so some muscles here and there. I wear a 56 but with a suit I have to wear a 58 or 60 for the length. It depends on how close you are physically to the off the rack size, thin 5'5"-6'?
It is important to have a professional size you vs. the kid at cycle gear giving you the thumbs up as you are squeezed into a tiny suit or one that hangs off you.
There are many options for the suit but I chose level 2, stock colors and options but with custom fit. It was about $500 over the off the rack suit. The suit was not cheap, but the extra cost was worth the perfect fit.

You'd think you were tall based on the question.

I am
Same height as you, danaid. I wear a 56 or 58 jacket - depending on the fit (regular or slim fit Dainese). If my "padding" was reduced I would be a 54-56, but in a 54 the sleeve length would be wrong.
My main problem is that my legs and torso lengths are off - longer legs and shorter torso, so I have to buy tall sizes pants from Dainese. 116 pants have legs that not even a standard 64 matches, so I can't use any of their standard suits.

Haha, are builds are the same! I have the same sizing issues. I decided not to spend lots of money on a suit and have the same fit issues I've learned to live with. Especially now since Dainese is no longer making "tall" sized suits anymore.
I'm fortunate to have the D- store San Francisco a couple hours away for some expert sizing. They are planning to attend all street moto events this year to provide suit fitting.

Looks good. Not sure if I can wait four months for a custom suit.

Finally had an opportunity to thoroughly break in my made to measure, Dainese Laguna Seca evo, race suit at the only track day I attended this year. Having a suit custom made was the best money spent. Not in any way inexpensive, spending a bit more when making a major purchase like this is worth it for me. Especially because I can't get a great fit from an off the shelf product. I have nothing negative to report, only that the suit is a race cut, very very tight. (I could have had them make a sport cut fit instead) but now that the suit is broken in, the fit is not so bad anymore. If I thought about it, I would have stepped up to the next level suit that is much more comfortable, for just a couple hundred more dollars!
