Great jacket for Steve - when he gets to that end point maybe!

If buttons and zippers are reversed, then, simply, it is made for ladies. I can only assume you are embracing that X chromosome when window shopping.

Euros drive on the same side as you lot.

And a pint has 20 fluid ounces.

Back to the original post, it really doesn't matter if your jacket for the final ride fits or not. That's what the make scissors for, to split them up the back so they look good on the front. So to that end, as long as it isn't child sized it should work just fine!

Never thought of that. My other piece of riding apparel that shrunk over the years is my waxed cotton Belfast riding suit. Loved it when it fit me. Everyone knows how cotton can shrink while hanging in the motorcycle gear closet.

Or it just could be that I'm a man of more significant stature now. Yeah, that's the ticket.

And I know what Phil is saying about the zipper. My Belfast jacket is the same way and it is definitely a men's jacket and pants. It was made in UK and was one of the last of four imported into the US when I bought it.

Sizing is difficult with 48 or XL sometimes being subjective. I wear a size 48 sports coat/suit jacket and all of my motorcycle jackets are XL. I bought a nice cotton safari style jacket on ebay in an XL and it was way too tight.

Ishrub, I'll get with you in a PM to see what we can do. I have three leather jackets, actually 4, counting the one at my son's in Maryland. One is a beautiful Hein Gericke Dakar that got bit too small over the years and one a really old worn out Wild One style. I'm liking that leather Rocket jacket because, well after all, I've got a Rocket again. Those are all good looking jackets though.

Triumph clothing sizes due vary depending on the style and cut of the Jacket. The Alpha character e.g. XXXL marked sizes are I think the roomiest of the styles. The Numeric sizes are provided in both UK chest inches on top and weird Euro values below.

I have UK 52 - EU 62 in the Tempest and smaller UK 42 - EU 52, UK 38 - EU 48 in the Spitfire.

and another 3 used Triumph jackets available I have not posted yet.

I shall need to get some photos etc.

But in summary another early Triumph 'Triple Collection' brand Black and Yellow fabric (better looking than the other one IMO and no tacky badges )with armor etc but no removable liner in a SMALL,
\
Another mesh and fabric 56/66 solid black summer jacket with armor and air vent zips front and back with detachable water proof liner. 'DEUS' (3.5 "x 2.5") with 'Triumph' underneath badging on RH shoulder and round '59' (3") with 'Triumph' underneath badging on LH shoulder.

Leather Triumph OEM 54/64 Black dark grey inserts and large leather dark grey script Triumph logos on Front chest (8" x 2") and shoulders (10" x 2.5") with armor and air vent zips front and back.
Very nice jacket one size too small for me = XXL. I cannot remember if the detachable quilted liner came with it or is one from a XXXL Yellow Fluero Expedition type jacket I lost and re-purchased.

We have been somewhere similar before and my eyes and Google ad suggestor are just getting over it.

Ishrub said: ↑
And as commented earlier, is it just mere coincidence that is your favourite black and yellow stripe color combination?
Definitely ATGATT !!!

As many clothes retailers and women will tell you Steve, it is not the body you have to wear it that counts, it is how your body feels now that you are wearing it.

Besides I do not know many men or women other than Madonna and downtown punks and hip-hoppers who wear their lingerie on the outside
of their clothes.
At least it is not animal print!

Just being SUPPORTIVE of a fellow Captain and his cross-laced lifestyle choices. I had recently PM'ed him a link to some Black and Yellow mirrors but didn't think his BUMBLEBEE tendencies had gone this far.

Well after clicking on 1olbull's link my forum adverts are now full of men's groins IN underpants. I thought it only fair the rest of you should suffer as well.

OK, OK, I'll have to confine or redirect my whining to you bloody Brits, then.
