Realised I'm never going to use this stuff again, so it's off to ebay with it...

Are you packing it all in?

No mate

Just can't see me ever riding a sports bike again!

Should realistically have sold this kit years ago, but held onto it "just in case"... It's probably 5yrs since I last wore full leathers, I'm either in full textile touring kit or in a Jacket and Kevlar Jeans all the time on a bike these days...

Does the 1-piece come up tight or loose for a 44? (I assume that's 44 inch chest? I haven't looked at leathers for years)

I may need a suit soon for classic trackdays

I'd say it's pretty snug for a 44 myself... Probably not as tight as some, but not as generous as say Dainese. I'm 5ft10 and was snug fit when I was 13st... At 14 1/2st currently, it's effing tight!

But yes, 44" chest, so fits like a 54 in European sizing...
