I tower well above everyone I know...when I'm standing on the roof on my house, otherwise, I'm just about 5'4", with a 40-42" chest and 32" waist. Everything I've tried on fits too long :-(

I know I could go with a custom suit, but I'm looking for something cheaper.

Help!

you might need a custom suit though but my size could fit you too, i'm 5' 6.5" & i have a 32" waist, i wear medium sized suit, when i'm standing the suit fits good on the legs but when i sit on the bike & i do my thing it get's cramped up & stresses my kneecaps.

you should try suits aimed for the Asian market as your build is almost similar to mine. did you try RS Taichi?

Keep a look out for the Pedrosa replica suit!

You have an odd body shape. Custom is probably your best bet. You could try to fit into an off the rack 1 piece suit but you may find lowers to be too long for you though the upper may fit you perfectly. However, there is an alternative and that's a 2 piece suit. This way you can find a jacket that fits your upper and lower perfectly without dropping thousands of dollars into a custom suit.

That'd be sweet...if the little bastard weren't so skinny. OveRRev, what do you wear?

I'll just have to go with a custom suit.

a Teknic Lightning 1pc suit from way back 2003/2004 i think, size medium, even then it still felt a bit short on my thighs when i sit on the bike with it.

usually US & Euro sizes are quite too long on the legs but the upper parts fit me well.

I'd just spring for a custom suit man. It'll be worth it.

I swear we're like chicks and their jeans. =p

I have my Komodo suit coming in this/next week, hopefully it'll be a nice fit on my Asian stature.

I had trouble too. I went custom. syedleathers.com (download their catalog at the site) came highly recommended and they're the cheapest custom you'll find at $700. You might pay that much for an off the rack 1-pc anyway so why not go custom?

or, you'll have to go with a 2-pc for proper fit.

you know your short, when your knee sliders tuck into your boots.

 

[kidmoua]

buahahaha...that was a good one shortyR6..

anywho..I'm 5'5 with a 31 waste ...here's me in a 38 A* MX1 1 peice..a little loose but I can live with it..

 

[shortyR6]

i am pretty sure mine is a 38 as well. it fits fine in all the right places.

I'm get my komodo suit tomorrow and all the suits I tried on is too long. So I call a reputable AUTOMOTIVE UPHOLSTERY shop and they said they can taylor the suit to fit

 

[ridersinc]

a euro 48 (us 38) astars 1-pc should do you fine. it is not going to be perfect in all the right places... but it should be fine in most of the places. any good leather shop/upholstery shop can reduce the length in the legs... that should be an easy fix for you.

feel free to call us if you want to discuss some more.

cheers... nick - mri

I have a used suit for sale that will fit you cheap. Arms are slighly shortened and the legs are the smallest I found when researching non-custom suits. Shorter than the A-star's which were the next closest. Other than that...its custom. Hurts the pocketbook but feel ohhhh soooo goood.

I have the following- 42" chest, 32" waist, 5'-5"

I fit into both a 40 US and 42 US Teknic suit. Neither legs nor arms feel too long.
