true...maybe it's because they moved their operations and manufacturing facilities out of Italy...

I wear a size 60 suit and it's TIGHT in the chest/shoulders/arms. My actual upper torso measurement is 49in "unflexed".

The sleeves I did have to get altered so that they weren't covering my hands, but that seemed to be a simple fix at a legit alterations place.

Alpinestars leathers don't fit me right either. If I buy the suit large enough to fit my chest & shoulders, it's sagging around my waist. I'm talking about a good 4"-6" of room. I have to buy Joe Rocket stuff because it fits me better.

RS Taichi is another brand that should fit you. They are more "V-shaped".

Teknic is the opposite.......Baggy stomachs.

What he said. I'm 6'0 and 160 and my RS Taichi jacket fits great. They are definitely Japanese shaped and sized.

I do have an Alpinestars jacket where waist fit isn't so critical. The waist is so loose on it I can carry a gun and spare magazine under it, and the chest is pretty damn tight.

Lifting for 25 years? Sucka, you outta wear size 1000 and look like the Hulk.

my A* jacket was a 56 I believe... can't remember though... it fit perfectly... A* stuff seems to be built for the tall and lanky... good for me
