SB Sparco suits?

[Chuckleski212]

Are there skip barber racing suits available? Im not talking about the red fart-bags they have at all the schools, but I see these all the time:

All the Mazda and Skip Barber signage you see are patches sewn on the Nomex suit. If you race in the series Skip Barber will give you an assortment of Mazda, BF Goodrich, and Skip Barber patches to sew on any suit you choose.

Depending on your budget or your sponsors budget custom embroidered suits can also be fabricated with more elaborate sponsor signage. The MAZDASPEED embroidery shown is a custom sponsor suit.

Can any of the members here share how to apply the race series patches to my driver's suit? I have the template for placement but am not sure how to properly sew them onto my quilted sfi5 suit. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They can be sewn on by hand or machine but in either case you need someone with experience who can position them and sew them on properly. Some people go crazy and get Nomex thread but I think most are done with regular thread.

If you really want to have it done correctly, in addition to using Nomex thread as Pat already said, the stitching for the patch should only be done to the outside layer of nomex. Most of the patches for the pro driver suits are usually done at the suit manufacturer, where they sew the patches on to the outer layer before sewing together the other layers.

If you look closely you can see how I arranged the patches on my suit.
P.S. if you want a test sample of Sparco three layer suit to test its flame retardant characteristics let me know. Seems the paramedics missed that full body length zipper or maybe had just gotten their scissors sharpened and wanted to try them out on some pristine nomex. Well, can't really complain, I'm here writing this post.
