Try your local cleaners.
They may have to send it out, but you'll get it done.

I had the Octane and liked 'em. I swiched to Dainese though. The kangaroo leather is nice and soft, it already felt broken in. It's very, very breathable and the kangaroo leather is stronger this year than the past, I guess they use a new method of treating the leather.

Any brand name suit will be fine for you, especially since you're just starting out on the track.

I have the JR GPXR 2 piece. pants fit great, jacket is a touch big, but not bad.
Gets a lil warm in the 95+, but not terrible.

I've got a Frank Thomas 2 piece suit that held up very well in last years wreck @120. I still wear them on a regular basis. One seam on the back of the jacket blew out...I just need to get that fixed.

Loves my 2 piece. Not often i really need to put the pants on, so it makes sense.

I have Alpinestar, Stella two piece suit. Very comfort and great for track days.

I used to wear an IXS Suit, I LOVED that thing! It's from europe (sweden I think) and it was silk lined, holy hell that thing was comfy! And tough as nails, I know I wrecked in it once, and the previous owner wrecked in it I think two or three times. But it was still in great shape. Plus, the IXS pucks were some of the best I have ever used (only the Klucky Pucks were better). Unfortunately I had to get a different suit, I ended up with a Teknic one-piece, I think it's a Chicane. So far I'm happy with it, but it's definitely not the same quality as the IXS. (Granted the IXS was about $1500 new)
