Triumph Fabric Retro Paddock Jacket sizing

Hello Everyone:

I have an opportunity to purchase the above item on-line.

Can someone tell me if the sizes run small being a european jacket?

I normally wear a large US size, but the jacket in question is an XL.

Should it fit or will I look like Omar the tent maker?

Best regards,

Barry

Yeah go one size larger man - I tried on my size 40 at the dealership here and it was way to small - bumped up to a 44 - all good.

impossible to tell...

... with the info you've given. I'm 6'2 and only 180# - there's not a Triumph brand jacket that fits me, period (I tried, hard). If it fits nice in the body, it's too short and/or too tight across the shoulders, if it fits in the shoulders or is long enough then it's way too big around. OTOH, if a L normally fits you, you're in the 42-44" chest range, and not more than about 5'10-11, then there's a good shot that the jacket will work for you. Good luck!

Good call you guys,

Yep! 5'10" and 185 lbs. I'll order it and give it a try.

Thanks,

Barry

Question Where are you?

HogDaddy - where in CT are you located? I'm in Stamford, MattRat is in Ridgefield and GaiJin, who I just contacted is also in Stamford somewhere. WE should start to band together and bring it to Marcus!

Meet at Marcus? You bet!

Hello Bob,

I sent you a PM. Marcus is fine with me, just let me know what you have in mind.

Best,

Barry
