A few years ago, I came upon the Suixtil website, and I bought the Sebring bomber jacket. The idea of wearing a jacket that was the same as one worn by Jean Behra seemed very cool to me.
I began to realize how much I identified with the racing ethos of the 1950s and 60s. I bought Les Leston gloves and Irish tweed sporty caps.
That was followed by the purchase of a Zandvoort rain jacket. Then I bought a Caterham. Then I bought a garage at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI, to store my Caterham and decked it out with diecasts and artifacts from racing in the 50s and 60s. The attached pics will tell the story.
Today I bought a sweater like the one Peter Collins wore in his Ferrari cockpit (different color, I know.) Thanks for keeping this brand alive and relevant to people like me!!
“I just received the jacket a few hours ago, and I have to say, itâs fabulous⊠everything I expected and more! … Youâve been terrific to deal with, and Iâm thrilled at the outcome of our correspondence!” Mike – Canada

âMy testimonial (and complaint): My wife Sharon and I fell upon your booth at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours and thought the classic racing sportswear was fantastic. Sharon loved the Grand Prix gloves and bought a pair for me, and I bought a Monaco jacket and an Angouleme shirt. All looked pretty good with my 07 Maserati Quattroporte, but something was missing. All it took was buying a 64 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider to make things absolutely right, so for this I blame you. It’s taking some time and money to get it sorted, but absolutely perfect with the Suixtil style. I challenge any of your other customers to say that they bought a car to match the clothes and not vice-versa! Keep new things coming; I’ve already got my orders in to Santa for this Christmas.â Dennis – USA
