Alpinestars Blue White n Black Jacket "42"

I've been waiting for this jacket for a while and when it turned up........awww no! It was too small.

So as the title says Alpinestars Jacket size 42. I could have sworn I was a 42 chest size but maybe the pecs (moobs) have expanded a bit. Or maybe Alpinestars sizes are a bit on the small side.

That said, I bought it from ebay. The advert said worn 4 times and tbh it looks no more worn than that. The jacket is immaculate, as good as brand new. It has shoulder and elbow protectors, inner zip to fit to trousers, detachable liner and air vent zips in sleeves, plus a zipped section for a back protector. I promise you it is as good as new. It was a spontaneous buy by me and a bargain .....if only it fitted.

Sorry if the photos are skewed I'm too tired and dissapointed to work on that right now. If you're interested let me know and I'll do some more.

Just looking to cover costs £40 plus postage for a slim orger, before I put it up on ebay and take my luck. Quality jacket bought by an orger with great taste but no sense in sizes.

I think the sizing might be a bit strange with alpinestars. I just went up stairs and checked my leather jacket lable it says

US 42 EUR 52

I have a 39 inch chest and jacket fits perfectly so not sure where the 42/52 comes from???

Very nice jacket though mate, how very annoying it doesn't fit !!!

I tried a few 42's on before in shops before, they seemed OK and my suit jackets, and current bike jacket are 40's, so I assumed all would be OK.

So for anyone reading and interested I'm a size 40-42, medium in everything else, I can get it on, zip it up, but look like a doughnut as it's tooooo tight.

If you want it, to try it, I'm happy to send it and take it back if it doesn't fit if you cover postage. (Orger trust).

Alpinestars size very small. Im normally an xl in jackets but had to go to a 3xl when i was trying on there textile jackets. Im also a 50 US / 60 EURO in there leather jackets, but can fit into a lot smaller with other companys products. Its not gonna help you with your sale as such but may help with future sizing?! Glws though and a free bump!

Hi mate,

Interested but not sure on the size ive tried looking on this site for size 42 but they only have s,m,l etc

Im 6,1 about 12 stone maybe more before a visit to the throne haha would it fit?

regards

Looking at your pic, I think it might fit you around the chest but probably be a bit short on the length. I would estimate that this would generally be considered a Small jacket.

Be careful on the throne.

sounds ideal for my son. Will you post to Spain?

you have new PM

Hi Martin, I'll pop down the Post Office and see how much the postage is on Tuesday. Might be scary, but it'll still be a good deal overall. I'll check..

not as scary as prices for parts and clothing her I reckon.
