Glad things appear to be working out to your satisfaction. I had brought this thread to the attention of contacts I have at Sparco the day of my initial post on the subject.

I purchased a new 3 layer Sparco Suit for Saferacer last year. After wearing it twice, the stiching came out on part of the front panel. I had my seamstress restich it with fireproof thread.
I will not buy another relatively expensive suit(or any clothing, etc) from a company that makes such an inferior product. If I hadn't needed the suit right away, I would have sent it back to SafeRacer, but have also had poor customer satisfaction issues with them, as well.
I quess some of these vendors don't get the fact that we(racers) are a pretty tight knit group and will spread the word about shoddy business practices.
If you have not bought yet....again....look into Stand 21...and nope not attached in any way to the company.............. incredible suit and wonderful to work with the folks there.
Thanks, Tim...will do so!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I just got my full refund for the suit today. I just wanted to thank everyone who posted on this subject because I'm not sure if I would have ever got a refund if it wasn't for you. You should all know that Brad at Wine Country Motor Sports fought hard to help me, and kept in touch with me the entire time this was going on. If anyone is in the market for new safety gear you should really consider talking to Brad because he will go the extra mile for you. Thanks again to the Apexspeed community.

That is cool...so many times today we don't see or hear of real customer help.
Guys - please consider OMP for future suit purchases - they are top quality and we haven't had any issues with them coming apart.
