Uhlmann or LP

I find myself torn between the Uhlmann Olympia and the LP sydney kits.

What are the differences between the kits?

I will need a custom kit because my size(Im 6'7''), so which one would be easier to custom order(how much extra will it cost)?

Does the olympia have the wickibility that the Sydney does?

Which jacket/pair of knickers is/are more lightweight?

How is the fit?

What are the pros/cons for each of the kits(like zipper problems or elastic tabs ripping off ect.)?

And if you can think of any other pertinant information I need to know go ahead and add it. If you could also say which jacket you own/have tried and if you have owned/tried both. I will most likely go by the opinions here because I trust your feedback. Thanks in advance for the help.

Personally, I feel that the Leon Paul uniforms are much more well made than any other uniform. Looking at the details you see double stitching everywhere and the materials are great.

The bad thing is the LP is behind in their regular orders and trying to get back to keeping up with demand, so you won't be able to get anything custom cut until at least after Summer Nationals, and I'm not sure what the wait time will be even then. We talk to Alex quite a bit so when we get some more information on custom kit we'll be more than happy to share it.
