Hi, just wondering whats your "medium" on actual jacket tag size? coz I've ordered a medium and it came in today as "38" on jacket tag size?!

its a very tight fit…

[babyknight]

38 is Medium.

Looking at the sleeves in particular I think you have the right size… it is intended to be a fitted jacket.  Does it feel uncomfortable?

[jz714]

The reason I ask, normally medium is 40.
sleeves are spot on, its still new the jacket is stiff and quite tight, maybe some wear will stretch a bit.

[Katsushin]

Almost all new IH gear is SUPER stiff (especially the super black material)…
That's why everyone is always congratulating a new purchase then following by saying something to the effect of "now beat the piss out it, wear it hard", etc....

[jz714]

no problem, I'm still a newbie…
I'm wearing it now with zip on doing some kung-fu moves to break it in

[jacoavlu]

it looks rather short… sleeves on a rider are gonna run long, they're meant to sit at proper length with the arms up on the bars

not a bad fit, but be sure it's the fit you're hoping for... I don't know if it'll stretch much. If anything you may see the sleeves shorten a bit as the combs develop at the elbows.

A super jacket, congrats on the purchase, the superblack denim is awesome.

[jz714]

a tad bigger is better, should of order size large…
i should ask Mr.G if i can do exchange, still haven't take the tags off

[Beatle]

sleeves - check
shoulder - check
can zip up - check

Riders jackets are short, so loose the bulky sweater underneath, wear a t and ur good to go

@Beatle:

It was a light one. I'll take few more fit pics once I break it in…

[Giles]

The Medium is a 38 (that is, it is designed for someone with a 38 chest).  The size chart measures the actual chest measurement of the jacket, which in this case is 40.6.  G

Jz714, I'd say go for a Large: it will give you that extra length (+2cm) and width at the bottom hem (+4cm) that you need, the sleeves might then be a bit too long, but after a good deal of wear they will shorten a bit due to the forming of the arm combs…

For comparison: I have a 40" chest and wear just about every IH shirt in size L, but for this jacket I went XL (tagged 42), ...

[jz714]

yeh after few hours of wear, its killing my shoulders, its just a tad too small, and i was only wearing a skin tight T…

Now i have to sell/exchange it...damn
