What to wear under a leather suit?
I just picked up my first full leather suit. It's a Kobe Leathers 2 piece suit that zips together nicely. I'm just not sure what to wear under it. Do you guys wear under armor? Whitey tighties? Regular clothes? Nothing???? I'm looking for all types of situations, from a nice weekend ride to a track day.

depends on the situation and the weather. Silk undies (tops and bottoms) can be really comfortable and warm as well. I use them for X/C skiing. There is a lot of mesh stuff out there as well.

These Compression Clothing for Sports & Recovery depending on the weather I may wear a woollen thermal turtleneck over them. Think they are fantastic!!

Helly Hansen type top on the top half, normally long sleeve and cycling 3/4 length lycra bottoms on the lower half. Top wicks away sweat (if its warm enough in the UK ever!0 and the cycling bottoms have a padded rear for added comfort.
You coudl also use an EDZ romper suit. I'm always bemused by those that wear nowt underneath...can't be comfortable!

Jockeys, a t-shirt, and socks.
Thermal if it's really cold.

For track days I wear underarmor compression shorts and compression shirt under my suit.
If you are riding around casually, a heatgear rebirth works well. However SF is a bit cooler than FL summers!!!

I like the cool ride stuff.
Give these guys a call and inquire. They'll give you the scoop on what to where and for what:
