Right- well. Where to begin?
Zentai-Zentai.... Holy crap.
Say what your want about them, but they were absolutely fantastic. You know, I was actually terrified about using them because of what other people said about them being terrible customer service and not following sizing and sloppy work and shoes not fitting but I’ve got to say, I will definitely be buying from them again because my suit was 90% perfect. Only one issue... They forgot to attach the web wings. Strictly speaking, that is certainly an error on their behalf, however at each step of the way they sent me photos via gmail and kept me up to date and when it was ready they sent me more photos and asked me to check it was okay and up to scratch, and it looked fine to me. The web wings are removable, so I just assumed they weren’t attached. I didn’t think much more of it and forgot after a while, until I got the suit about a month later (had it delivered to my partner who lives in London) and it was only after I tried it on that I realised they hadn’t attached the buttons. I got straight into the the email and they asked me to send photos and they demanded an explanation from their tailor who said he messed up. They sent me the buttons and web wings recently, and luckily I have a tailor in the family who’ll sew them on.
One other thing- I sent Ken’s pattern to be used as the texture was accurate rather than the honey comb suit fabric texture they seem to want to use, but they said that the black rubber bits didn’t line up and asked what they should do, whether or not to cut the black bits from the suit and stick the rubber bits over somehow or stick them on anyway. I said they should do what they thought was best, and they told me not to worry, they’d print the suit again, just using their own pattern. You can’t complain!
Then when I finally got it on... holy moly. It’s lovely. The upgraded Lycra is brilliant but the rubber bits you have to be careful of, as they obviously don’t stretch. Ignoring the texture, it’s certainly the most accurate suit out there. Definitely beats the RPCStudio suit as they don’t even use rubber on theirs!
I’ll have to post pictures at some point, but I would 11100000% recommend this suit for purchase. All the way. It genuinely is amazing.
