I'm about to purchase a Newham jacket online and I was wondeing if their are true to their size. My chest measures 45 and I would like to know if I should go to a 46 instead of a 44. Does the sizing also works the same for the leathers? Thanks.

Brits must be shaped differently than Americans 'cause I spent another $200. to have my $400. Triumph leather jacket altered to fit. It's a great jacket now but, it should be for $600.00

Why did you have it altered?

Because it didn't fit.
It was too large in several areas and required altering and when I tried on the next size smaller it was too small in some areas so the only way to get a proper fit was to purchase the larger size and have it tailored to fit.
My tailor said this is very common with garments made in Europe because Americans are proportioned differently.

I wear 38/40 levis
XL
and 46 in suit tops

i had to go w/ a 50 Rivton jacket...
48 was too tight up top and around the waist.
I oculd have done a 52 also...but 50 should work out...
hope it helps out

triumph clothing tends to run small, in my experience. I have the Integra jacket in a 52, and I wear a 48 suit jacket...

before ordering online, I would definitely recommend going to the triumph dealer and trying them on to get the right fit..

That's also true of ladies Triumph clothing as well. I bought my wife a leather jacket that proved to be 2 sizes too small. My wife is not large (fat) either and we had to exchange it for one that fit. The quality of Triumph leather jackets is superb though!

I just bought a Triumph Raptor Jacket. I wear and xl in most all jackets, I bought a 46, it was pretty tight but fit.
