Two Piece Suits - Jacket Advice

[MWillow]

What does everyone wear underneath their leather jacket?

When trying on leathers with a t-shirt on, I've found that a size 40 jacket in some brands is a little tight (with the thermal layer still in).

When i tried it without the thermal layer it fitted a little better (with a bit of stretch it would be ok i think).

When i tried a 42 it felt a little bit too big even with the thermal layer in....

I won't be riding in cold weather, so i'm hoping i won't need too much on underneath providing leathers keep you warm during the warmer months!!!

Am i doing the right thing by trying jackets on with only a t-shirt underneath?

Always get tight Get the 40 then Cos it will stretch a little as its worn anyway, and tight is always better. Also, when getting jacket/pants, have a sit on your bike with them on too.

I tend to just wear a t/polo shirt. Jacket comes in quite tight although I'd happily get a jumper under it. I would go for the 40.

If you use a back protector or ever intend to,youll need some space.

For me normally just a thermal T shirt

This past weekends long rides I have had a thermal base shirt, a t-shirt and a back protector as well as keeping the thermal in the jacket. It was tight, but has definitely stretched since it was new.

Today I just had a t-shirt coming home from work. It was still tight, but you could feel the difference. 40 sounds like a good bet to me.
