Sizing help

[docus]

Hey guys, I wear guidi in 42, what size should I go for layer-0 derbies? 40 or 41??
Many thanks in advance!!

Layer-0 runs true to size. Guidi isn't a great comparison as their sizing is a bit variable and people size down by different amounts - some people size down two with Guidi, but I've always found going down one size is perfect. For reference, I'm a size 41 - I take a 42 in Guidi, and I take a 41 in Layer-0. It might help if you could let us know what other sizes usually work for you, e.g. do you know what size you are in CDiem and m.a+?

Thanks bro!!
I think I kinda got the idea.
I wear CCP derbies in 6, and I considered myself true 41.
I guess a 41 in layer-0 would be safe in this case.

Follow up question...
What size should I go for Augusta derbies then?
6 or 7?

^^^ It depends on the season - Augusta sizing has changed a bit over the years. It's not my specialist area though :D

Is 46 the smallest size available for current season RO leathers?

RO womens classic biker jacket

Any males on here tried or even own this piece:



http://www.ln-cc.com/invt/ric0207018blk in larger (46,48) sizes obviously.

Was/is it unbearably tight? and for those who do own, did it stretch to actually fit your bigger frame.

Then again I guess how tight is too tight for leather jackets.....especially on chest and shoulders.

[Patroklus]

I'm not really familiar with Rick's jacket sizing but those would be approximately equivalent to a men's S or M, except with very high and narrow arm holes and a lot more waist suppression. I don't predict this ending well for you.

an aside: that IT 38 is impressively tiny.

[Rosenrot]

You should be more worried about its length than girth. That jacket will be way too short on a guy's torso and uncomfortable at the pits. But if you must, his blistered lamb usually runs true to size.

[Patroklus]

I don't know if the length will increase linearly with each size but I have jackets roughly as short as the measurements listed by LN-CC, works fine. Although it's totally likely that the jacket's true waist won't match his.

A friend has that jacket. He usually wears a men's 44.
It kind of works on him but he is not that tall and doesn't have a long torso; like Rosenrot said, the women's jackets are short in general.
But the leather is really soft and stretches like crazy.

[shdws]

Yeh sadly I think your prediction is right, I have like a 38 chest

I remember reading about the arm holes being tight.

Net a porter still has sizes, I really like this biker and the blistered version is the one I love and I haven't seen it in circulation for the last year or so until this season.

Hmmm decisions, I might turn out replicating white chicks dressing room scene.

Am i kidding myself that it may stretch in the shoulder and chest....I guess I could buy it and try :/

If it doesn't work out though shipping is going to be painful, especially with tax on return as well gawddddddd.

[Patroklus]

buy me the 44 and I'll let you know how it fits and how it stretches

Hmmm

I just noticed the replies as I was writing mine.

Well I'm actually not that tall like 179cm, but how bad is the armholes :/ because I kinda have cannon arms sadly from working out (stupid youth decision)

Patroklus
Not sure about the waist, I'm not that worried about that part cause my waist is like 27inches, its the chest and shoulders. I could just get it and never zip it up lol.
(^EDIT:lol comedian are we?, I'm broke as it is, otherwise I would just buy it and try and not care about all the tax and return shipping fees)
Verdandi
Really hmmmmm how much stretching I wonder....couple cms? Safe to say around the shoulders and ..chest?

[Patroklus]

you have 11" of drop from your chest to your waist? can I have pictures of your torso? preferably freshly manicured and with mood lighting. thank you.

[Verdandi]

I have the jacket from S/S 11 in blistered and the leather is pretty similiar to the current season leather.
The leather is really soft (almost a bit like suede) and the jacket slouches a lot.
It definitely stretches around the shoulders, chest and sleeves. Mine was a bit snug around the chest when I first bought it and now I can wear several layers underneath without a problem.
