Default leathers for the a proper size man?

Now Im not your classic long beard over waist belly biker,

but neither am a rossi? I am a real man (well I play at it)

I am 6ft tall, 47" accross the chest, and I have a 39" waist..

Dont get me wrong, I can certainlly afford to loose a few pounds, and its on the cards, but its not going to happen over night...(or more likley this year)

I am sick of going to HG or J&S and NOTHING fitting.. Jackets not a problem.. but even there size 60 (eu) (40") trousers dont??

Where the hell can I buy proper size gear as I as much as I like my 40" waist kevelar jeans they are not leathers....

Please help as I darent type large leathers into goofle on my work lap top.

Cheers

Alex

Made to order for non cranfield ergonomical people I'm affraid.

My shoulder are pretty broad and I have fairly long arms which makes things really difficult for me when buying anything.
