I’m looking for a new leather jacket (possibly a two piece) and I’ve been round 3 motorbike stores in London, but none of them have any jackets in my size - I’m quite short and skinny (36" chest).
I’ve tried a few 38" jackets and these almost fit, but the shoulder protection does not sit properly.
Do manufacturers event make them to 36" chests? If not can anyone advise on brands which may have a smaller fit or on stores that I might have a better chance finding a jackets that fits.
dainese and alpinestars are 2 companies I know who do jackets for a 36" chest.
also look into arc-on stuff. there was a review on here about them and all seems pretty good. i enquired about a made to measure suit so im sure they can tailor the stuff they do have off the shelf to suit yourself if the fit isn’t quite right. there’s a link to there online website on the right hand side beneath the AXA assistance cover link>
Cheers guys, I’ve had a look at Dainesé stuff but I’m a bit dubious about buying online without being able to try it on first.
I’ve tried this one, and without the gym workouts it all went to my belly. If I try that one again i’m gonna need a 36" chest with a 44" belly. Unless I’m riding a harley thats just gonna look wrong
I’m selling a leather jacket - really good nick ! It’s a Euro size 36, which is what you want, which is a UK size 8/10 and is my spare - so not worn much at all. Do PM if interested!!
I just seen this post, so first…Shhhushhhh Mr-C!!!
Yes its true Dainese can tailor for you, you sound like my build though im a 34chest. so give Dainese a try. They also go down to a EU44 UK34 Jacket size and I rreckon it should fit you perfectly.
I’ve got their Santa Monica jacket in that size.
I’d take a trip down to Bikestop in Stevenage - only place I know that Stock a Dainese EU46 Uk36 (phone to make sure before you go) you might find it perfect or you just need a size lower.
If you are in East London, or down that way, there is Harpers in Forest Gate, Rivetts in Leytonstone and then Hein Gericke in Gants Hill, you could visit all three in a loop to try out a few jackets. If they have any in your size they might offer a selection between the 3 of them.
