Yeah. I am not sure how companies work out their numbers. I am six foot, have almost a 30" waist, and a bit more than a 40" chest. Finding any clothes at all, let alone leathers is an absolute bugger. I was told a few times only custom leathers could fit.
Dude, I would tell you that only custom leathers would fit.

HG's sizes always seemed weird... Very short in the body I felt. Belstaff are odd too (at 5'10 I'm officially a Small, and the small is pretty damn big... I wear the small trousers over a pair of jeans and they're still not tight.)

Every manufacturer's different, just a question of trying everything you like the look of. Dainese used to have a rep as being for the tall and thin, HG definately seem to be or the stubbier individual.

I know. It used to be worse. I had no shower in my apt, and the wieghts room was next to my department. So, every morning (and almost every evening) I went in for a shower there, after a quick round of weights of course.

At one point I was having a suit made for me by a tailor, who just started laughing half way through measuring me up.

This jacket fits:
although that colour is a bit mank. Just buy a really small leathers, and high boots, zip the lot together and we are sorted for e's and whizz.

Although that Richa Monza jacket is cool. I likey.
