Hello everyone. I am having a hard time deciding whether my new leather jacket I bought it alittle too big or not. It feels great just standing still off the bike, just alittle comfort room on it, sleeves may be a tad long, but... when I get on the bike, in certain positions its like the jacket is riding up on me...... I dunno whether I need to send it back and get the next size smaller, and hope it loosens up a tad. I really dunno. I've never owned a leather before. Its a alpinestars by the way.

I have a Joe Rocket Sonic that fits snugs and does not ride up on me. It may be slightly to big.

I think it is. The place I got it in Omaha Nebraska, DSR, they had the smaller one in stock on the showroom floor, but... I was almost sure it was too small.... so.. they ordered a size bigger in for me before I left omaha to head back home from my business trip. Well... after getting home and realizing I think its too big, I called em up and I think they are gonna swap em out ofr me, and even pay for shipping on both. So.... if they end up following through with that, they DEFINITELY get a A++++ in my book. Really cool guys too.

Sounds like it's 1 size too big. I see you live in Lawrence. Are you planning on going to Cassoday next weekend?

Ok, let's make this easy? What size suit jacket do you wear? What size is your leather?

Mine does a little if I don't wear my leather pants. It's not enough to bug me, tho. When zipped into my pants, it's almost too tight, which is just right.
