Default Re: Damm leathers are to small

Hideout - not cheap but they make to measure or can adjust off the peg. My friend is 6'5" and his wife is 6'1" and they both have one piece suits from there that look great.

I'm the opposite - small. I have a Hideout jacket that accommodates my short body and narrow shoulders but still has room for my bosom as I found most leathers didn't.

And Jambo has a pair of their trousers to fit him as he has very long (but also very skinny) legs.

I have similar problems being 6'5". Although girth isn't a problem its the length.99.9% of the jackets I tried, the arms finished halfway up my forearms! Yesterday I went to bikers world in Coleshill. I git a set of Rev'it leathers that fit. Well chuffed. Not cheap but worth it for the fit, and they seem decent quality.

Slightly O/T but this seems to be the trend, same thing for normal jeans... just about fine to stand in but as soon as you sit down your boys get crushed. I ended up having to buy a waist size too big (so they just fall off without a belt) to have enough space dahn there.

I know you just got some leathers, but just to share my findings.
I have a joe rocket jacket I bought as part of a two piece set, and I had to get just over 2" taken off the sleeves as they went down wayyyyy too low. Perhaps in future bare them in mind?

I can only see 2 size labels, 54 and 44. I presume that's euro size 54, u.s. 44.

I am giving up on leather pants and armoured jeans, without getting made to measure I will never get a decent fitting pair, I thing I am going to get a leather jacket and wear some textile pants
