Default Alpinstars Leather Jacket sizing?

I am looking to buy an alpinestars leather stunt jacket. I am not sure what size to order. I have checked out there sizing chart and I am still not sure. I would like to try one on but noone stock the jacket I want. Anyways I am 5' 11" about 150 pounds. My waist size of my jeans are 32. I am a normal figured guy. If anyone is about my size let me know what you wear. I have a joe rocket jacket and it is a Large (it was given to me) and it fits nice. I am thinking a 42-44?? Any ideas... Thanks

I am 5'7" 185 with 32" to 34" waist depending on how if I am eating right Anyway I wear a large in Alpinestars. I own both an Alpinestars textile and a leather One to One jacket and I like both a lot.

yo...measure your chest.
my chest was a 46 fully inflated...but like 43 or so. i got a 40US/50Euro and stretched it to fit perfect. it was hell tight at first but now it's nothing short of perfect.
the sleeves may be a bit short for you so you may have to go bigger in sizing cause you're tall, maybe even a 54 Euro...but you needt this stuff fitting tight or else the leather will be like sandpaper on your skin when you fall and slide.

the waist may be a bit short for you as well.

they come in numbered sizing...the other stuff, textile stuff and some others...come in L, M, S, etc...

Ok thanks a ton. Yea a want a jacket to fit nice and tight but I don't want to have it be to short. I think I will go with a large(42) Waist (35-37) Chest (42-44). My chest is only about 40. Not very big... but alot bigger than it was before I started working out. And my waist over my jeans is about 35. I medium would probably be perfect if it wasn't for the length.

Definately agree on the stretching comment it will stretch so you don`t want a jacket thats to loose in a months time, when i bought mine i got a size smaller than i am 40 instead of 42 and now its like a second skin and comfortable as i like.

Well I ordered a 42us/52. I know the chest will be big enough just hope its long enough. It said 5'8"-5'11". I am 5' 11 so i hope it will be okay. The next size bigger would probably be to lose and unsafe.
