The arms on their jackets run way too long IMO.

The shoulders are just too damn narrow but the waist is plenty big though. People in Europe must have bigger bellies than their chest circumference.

Mine is just about perfect. Will have to go try some new ones on to see if they've changed

A stars runs small. I run small, they run smaller. I finally had to sell my pants because they were squeezing the life out of me. The next size up is too big. My leathers look like they are painted on.

For the "60 is a 50" crowd look at Astars sizing chart. They claim their 60 is for a 47 1/4 chest size.

It may be a recent change but those are the sizes they are claiming now and Rider's experience seems to confirm it.
