Sizing Charts

Leathers should fit like a second skin, and should therefore be tight when purchased. Over time the leather will stretch and shape to you and your riding position. It is important for the armour to be positioned on the vulnerable areas correctly. The position of the knee armour should be tested by kneeling on the floor to simulate the point of impact. Elbow armour should fit securely to the arm in the bent position with little rotation. The cuff should be reasonably tight on the wrists. All leather jackets and suits are sized according to your chest measurement. Jean size is determined from the waist measurement. English sizes are shown in inches ie 40", 42" jackets, 30", 32" jeans. Some manufacturers use a european scale. These have been converted below.
