Yes, I know Im a guy and I am looking at the biker stud forum, but only to see how the suit fits.
Tell you the truth, it looks a bit baggy. And you can stand up fairly straight. When I was trying on some Dainese suits, the 52 fit like a condom, unfortunately I couldnt fit the back protector in there with me so that one had to go.
The 54 fit kinda like the one you are wearing. Baggy in the waist, a little more room in the back and chest area, the legs were a little too long (had to pull on the legs to get my knees in the right position once I was on the bike). It just felt wrong to me. So no Dainese for me. That European cut just isnt right for me body style. Ill have to look into the Japanese suits like RS Taichi, Spidi, and so forth.
Actually I was kinda leaning back a little which is one reason it looks baggy. Also I wasn't wearing my back protector for that picture, which makes it fit a little better. I tried on the 52 and it fit snug, but with the back protector in it just didn't fit. Also remember the suit is a day old and needs to get broken in. I've had much worse fitting suits that with time fit me like a glove. Also I plan on adding a fair amount of muscle mass over the next couple years, although I'd like to stay around 195lbs. Also, as far as I know Spidi is Italian. But yeah, it does fit slightly loose now, but with the back protector in, and the changes I'll be making with my body over the next year or two it will fit perfect soon enough.
Also, thanks for the comments Japbike. You'd be amazed at how many girls I've had approach me just because they thought I looked good in leather. I love leather, I need to buy a regular casual leather jacket just for wearing around.
