- 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.

I was skeptical at first too.
The leather on this suit is supple, much more so than the last Teknic suit I had, and just as supple as the last Alpinestar suit.
I do think the arms and upper legs could be more snug, esp now that the legs have started to break in, but I think this is a symptom of my poor measuring skills.
And of course you saw the picture of the removable collar. I have never had a suit or jacket with neoprene cuffs.
