One piece leathers sizing
Discussion
I'm currently looking to buy some one piece leathers but I'm struggling to find any that fit.
I have the same problems with work suits and getting well fitting jeans - I suppose I must be an odd shape.
I'm 6'5 and about 100kg, but pretty slim. I'm got a 46 inch chest and a 32 inch waist but have pretty big thighs meaning I usually have to buy 36 inch waist jeans and use a belt to keep them up!
So, I was hoping that someone could suggest a brand of leathers that would be more suited to my size - i.e generous at the thigh and in length but relatively tight fitting on the waist.
Is anyone else as freaky a shape as me, and if so, what size leathers do you wear?
I'm going to attempt to go to a larger bike shop today to attempt to try some more brands. My alternative of course is to buy a suit that's made to measure.
A friend suggested I buy a suit that fits me on the chest/thigh (I presume around UK48/50 EUR 58/60) and have it altered/reduced where it's baggy.
Any suggestions?

6'5" and 15 odd stone, you must be a rake?!
I'm not a rake, just lean - about 9% body fat at last count I've just tried on my mates leathers (he's 6ft, 21 stone and has a 52 inch chest) and they're pretty snug on my shoulders/top of my chest. All that time in the gym is obviously paying off (or costing me a fortune in clothing, whichever way you look at it)!

If your still going to be putting on muscle then be careful buying anything too expensive. My leathers - new last year - seem to know where my extra stone has gone! Same as you - big thighs and big chest (at least, compared to the rest of me) and the bloody things had better stretch to accommodate, cos I cant afford no more.
