You ladies look incredibly gorgeous with those jackets... love how you've put the outfits together.

Too hot for me, too, to ever wear a leather jacket here, so I'm having fun just looking at you gals model it... so, please, more pics!

I thought I would bump this post for ease of reference.

The size 40 measurements are all good for me, but I think it will be a little too small.

Across my back, shoulder to shoulder, I am 16.5"

Yet, my arm length is 22"...So the sleeve length of 26" seems very long!

I am usually a 38" bust, so I am guessing to go up 2 sizes to a 42 (in my case)...

I am 175 cms and between an Australian size 12 - 14. I like my jackets a little looser, so I would normally choose an Australian size 14 jacket, KWIM?

I might try a size 42 Bal jacket. I'll only get one shot at this...I am thinking the size 44 might look a bit too big on me...

Here are the measurements for a FR 40 2009 Bal moto jacket:

underarm to underarm across the front - 18;" underarm to underarm across the back - 18-1/2;" mid-waist - 15-1/2;" hem - 16-1/2;" shoulder to shoulder - 15-5/8;" sleeve length - 26-3/8;" length measured from bottom of back collar - 20-5/8."

Here are the photos:

Hope that helps!

This may be my favorite, the black motorcycle jacket from fall 2007. The leather is really thick, soft and textured, and has improved with age. The color is still really black and has held up well.

This is one of the versions of a motorcycle jacket from the fall 2002 collection. The other was the one with a really big knit collar. This is a pretty warm, lined outerwear piece.

The dark chocolate brown from fall 2008. The pictures may make it look a little more reddish than it really is. The leather is thick and distressed and incredibly soft. It came with a lot of marks and scratches, as did some of the 2009 jackets.

This is the suede version from 2009/1. This was the first season (I think) with the dark zippers. Photos tend to make it look like gray felt, but it's really very black. Much lighter weight than the leather versions.

Rollergirl, You have an awesome collection!!

rollergirl · Nov 7th, 2009, 08:40 PM

Thanks! And yet I still want an impossible to find navy.

Pinkisweets · Nov 7th, 2009, 08:41 PM

I agree with Winterbaby

thanks for sharing Rollergirl!
