Hello people,

Am looking at getting a new 1 piece leather suit but i cannot find anywhere local or nearby that stocks them so i cant try them on!
And of course george whites has just gone bust Sad

So it looks like im gunna have to buy online but.... I have no idea what size to get, Im a uk 44 with my 2 piece rst's but the jacket is slightly to big i think,

Im 6ft and weigh just over 12stone,

What do you weigh and what size fits you?
Can you tell me what leathers you have and if they are in euro or uk size plz?

Thanks Guys!

Not helpful to you, but I have made to measure leathers. How much are you looking to spend?

My made to measure leathers were £900, but they're still going strong 4 years and a crash later.

If you are 6' then you need to be finding ones with decent length as well as the right chest. I've got a 46" chest leather jacket which is comfortable wearing a thick hoodie and a t-shirt underneath, and it's quite long, and I'm about 6'5 I think and 12st ish.

I would have gone with EUR 52-54 as well. I'm 5'9 and 13.5 stone and have a very broad upper body. 42" chest and 32-33" waist and I fit nicely into 52" alpinestars. Funnily enough, despite my bulk, I fit better in a 50" (stretch panels on the leathers might have something to do with it).

If when you buy it 2nd hand it's all too baggy for you, consider fitting in a back protector! I always try my suits on with a back protector installed.

If you have between a 32-34" waist and 40-42" chest, then EUR50-52 is what I'd expect to go for.

Put it this way, when my mate who is 6'2 decided to try on my 52EU A* SX-1 suit on, he didn't complain about it being too tight.
