On our 'local' bike pages, someone is giving, yes.....giving away some quite decent bike gear.
A very nice fieldsheer leather jacket being 1 item in L.
I'll be over tomorrow I say.
Fantastic 100k ride over, get there and, L my arse! There was about 3" of daylight between the zip halves.
Oh well, got the ride back to look forward too!

Re: Bugger bugger bugger!!!!
Bike gear seems randomly sized,you'd be taking a chance going by the label.
I have gloves sized L XL and XXL they all fit.

Re: Bugger bugger bugger!!!!
I had a really nice zip together set of leathers, black with gold stitching.
The jacket got slung years ago as it shrank while in the cupboard.
Strangely enough the trousers still fit although the belly does tend to stick out over the top.
It’s not a good look.
