head to a local dealer and try them on. You'll probably be around a 36-38US

do they make suits shorter than that? like 5'5"-5'6" 145lbs? i have always had trouble finding pants, especially moto pants, and was just wondering if i would have trouble finding a suit.

i have found that manufacturers are willing to make pants under 30" if you have a waist over 46". apparantly only fat(ter) people are short now a days.

Same here, tahoe. 5'6 and 155lbs 42US fits right for me.

I'm using a Komodo suit nowadays and I know they'll do custom suits for around the same price as off the rack suits, awesome stuff too. Its actually similar to my Spidi suit but it fits me better and looks better

any suit you get can be easily altered by somebody like Alexa @ Spyder Leather Works for pretty cheap
