griff488 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Can anyone help me with what the sizes of 1 piece leathers mean??i see loads that are 42 or 44 but what does that refer too? Chest or waist size?I'm a 44 chest 38 waist and 5 foot 11 tall so what size do i need?i know the obvious answer is go to a bike shop and try some on but i cant afford or justify a new set so will be buying second hand.Cheers Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Still go to the shops, try em on and walk away. That way you`ll know what size you need without buying them from the shop. Bit cheeky I know but why not.I think the 42, 44 refers to chest size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimmers Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 it's still a bit of a lottery when buying second hand, even if you do get the "correct" size, and i'm talking from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i kinda figure that one but i'm in no rush so if i can find a suit locallish then hopefully i can pop round and try before i buy sort of thing!! failing that if i buy a suit of Ebay and it doesn't fit then it gets relisted to pay for another one!!
