My local dealership ordered 2 different sizes for me to try, I sold my Tourmaster on here, I bought a new Hi Viz jacket, they ordered them for me and sent back the ones I did not want. Look for a qaulity locally owned shop, they most likely will do this for you too. Locally to me is 25-35 mile range.
And rememeber, these locals are the ones supporting all of your bike events and YOUR local economy too!

I went to my local shop and he had one in stock for me. But if that one was going to be to small he would have ordered me a bigger one. Local mom and pops are the way to go

I came back to this thread because I'm interested in a leather vest from Leatherup. All signs point to getting the jacket a size up.

But what about a vest? As I mentioned earlier, I'm a XL in dept store clothes. Should I go with a 2XL, or a XL and some extenders if necessary? My existing leather jacket with permanent lining is XL. If I had the budget to do it over again, it would be a 2XL.
