Oh yeah, new leathers, DIDNT fit :(

I ordered a new set of leathers today. Not sure what I'll do with my other set, Ebay maybe. Got the 03 2-piece Chicane in S/B. I bought the 44, I'm 6'1", 190lbs. I hope it fits good.

I agree. But it might be ok depending on how you carry your weight. I am 220 and I wear a 46 while a buddy of mine is 215 and is in a 48

Re: Oh yeah, new leathers

The write up on it says the 2-piece runs a little bigger, so hopefully it will work.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you! If it were me...I would be screwed either way...or it would be right and have a tear.

Re: Oh yeah, new leathers

Teknics arent the best if you are tall. They fit otherwise but mine were a little short in the torso.

Re: Oh yeah, new leathers, DIDNT fit :(

Yep, little short in the torso, and my massive chest, (j/k); it was too snug around the chest and I couldnt get my arms up very high. Bummer, I really liked the looks and fit of the bottom part.

Maybe it was right in the arms then, but deffinetly not in the chest. I guess I could get htem above my chest or over my shoulders some.
