How To Order Your Skimmer Suit

First be sure to write very clearly on your order form. If I can’t read it I can’t build your suit.

To place your order pick the form for the suit you want and print it out. Then have a friend handy to help you take your measurements (unless you’re a contortionist). Wear the clothes that you normally skydive in (including shoes) when you take the measurements. Make sure the tape measure that you use is accurate by comparing it to a ruler or yard stick, fabric tape measures can stretch and if the tape measure isn’t accurate your suit WILL NOT FIT.

Take each measurement carefully following instructions on the form; it’s best to take each one twice to be sure they are correct. Write all measurements down as inches. I can’t stress enough how important it is that you carefully take each measurement. What I mean is don’t just write down your pant's inseam and not actually take the measurement, your suit won’t fit if you do this.

Once you have all your measurements pick your colors. I suggest you limit the number of colors per suit to three (I’ll do more, but you’ll look silly). Pick your colors using the photo COLOR GUIDE (due to differences in monitors, colors may not exactly match the real thing). Notice that sometimes shades of the same color do not match exactly between the different types of fabrics (for example, the charcoal cordura doesn’t exactly match the charcoal supplex). 

For the tye dye option I can match most colors. Tye dye is available on cotton and supplex. On cotton, there will be white areas. On supplex, the base fabric can be almost any color such as royal blue supplex with black dye (a few samples of each are shown).  Tye Dye is not an exact science – if you have very specific requirement call or e-mail me before you place the order.  Remember, tye dye is an option and carries an additional fee.

I can do custom designs as well. Please contact me if you would like something special done. Custom designs will take more time and will have additional costs.

Next, choose any options you may want to add to your suit. Add everything up plus $15 shipping, (Minnesota residents please add 7.125% sales tax) write out a check or get a money order to "Skimmer Suits", or call me direct for credit card orders. Mail the order form and full payment to:
