I'd have to say the 42. It's supposed to be a close fitting jacket.

Easy. Keep both! The 42 as a summer jacket and the 44 for layering!

I love these types of posts. You’ll get as many opinions as there are members.
The correct ‘fit’ is so subjective. The real question is; which actually feels better when worn?
It IS supposed to be a tight fitting jacket. After all, this design was meant to be worn as a second skin whilst racing a speedway bike.
For a more comfortable & relaxed casual jacket, sizing up to the 44 provides more scope for layering.
For what it’s worth, the 44 looks baggy to me. There appears to be quite a bit of excess material in the rear upper sleeves & through the back.

I agree with dan_t as it is supposed to be a tight fitting jacket. If the 42 is comfortable for you on your bike, that is the one I would go with.

42, it's the correct fit for that type of jacket. Movement is overrated!
No but seriously, 42.

I prefer the fit of the 42, too, for that type of jacket.
yep, as many opinions as posters!
Seriously - neither.
the 42 looks too form fitting, I hate that look IMO, the 44 has an issue with the shoulders/upper arms that could get worked out with wear or a bit of hot water.
Maybe a different moto option? A D pocket style?
But really, YOU need to love it

42 -- the shoulders are WAY too big on the 44. IMHO, the shoulder width is critically important for a cafe racer.

I'd go with the...43"
In all seriousness 42" for super badass fit. 44" for turkey and ale winter weight possibilities...but if you are disciplined the 42" looks damn good from here.
