Alpinestars size 60 WTF?

Rider · 03-26-2010, 02:07 PM

Bare in mind I've never tried on A* jackets before. I go into a local dealer and try on some A* jackets. I first try on the 56 thinking it might be a little tight. Nope, way too tight, I can't zip it up passed mid chest. So I pick up a 58, still too tight. I can zip it all the way up but it's just too tight. So then I try on the 60 and alas a nice fit. I know it's Euro sizing but I ain't that fucking big. What gives, Are all A* gear that small? I know their gloves run small but their entire line?

Edward, tell your wife to stop cooking and start copulating!

Na A* is small but I wear a 58.....

Heck, O got you beat though... I wear a 36x34 in every type of jeans I own, including Icon, Sliders and Shift. I buy 3 pairs of Speed and Strength jeans on clearance from CompAcc in a 38x34 because the comments say they run small...way too tight! Like lay on the bed and suck it in tight. I had to *gasp* order a pair of 40x34s....fatty, fatty, fatty!!!

Crap - This reminds me, my Alpine* jacket is getting pretty damn old. Been wearing it since 2002.

Gonna check the size on it when I get home.

They claim their Italian size 60 is equivalent to a US size 47 and change.

I think their sizing runs small. I've never had any of their stuff but I've heard this from other people.
