Excellent review, very detailed.

Here are the things I always look for in a suit:

- is there neoprene on the cuffs AND collar?
- how much stretch material does it have? (cheap suits don't provide a full stretch crotch)
- is there hip armor? (cheap suits don't provide it)
- are the knees snug enough to keep the pucks from moving & grabbing?
- how snug are the shins and forearms? (cheap suits are baggy here)
- how many different leather panels are stitched together? (less = better)
- does the leather feel like cardboard, or is it supple?

As for Pakistan, can't say I've been impressed with stuff I've seen from there (AGVSport, Texport), but that was a few years ago so things might have changed.
