I think a size 42 should already fit. At least if the Corsair is a Dominator without chest pockets. Here are the measurements of the Dominator.

SIZE | 42 Regular | 42 Tight Fit | 44 Regular | 44 Tight fit
CHEST | 116cm | 115cm | 121cm | 120cm
HEM | 109cm | 114cm | 113cm | 119cm
LENGTH | 63.5cm | 63.5cm | 63.5cm | 64cm
SHOULDER | 48.5cm | 47cm | 50.5cm | 48cm
SLEEVE LENGTH | 65.5cm | 65.5cm | 66cm | 66cm

Thanks - the 42 should be fine!

Below the Corsair measurements I found from a French retailer's site (pretty much the same as with the Dominator above): https://paradisemotoshop.com/products/ll-60-the-corsair
  • SIZE CHART: 60 CORSAIR (REGULAR)
  • SIZE 42
  • CHEST 115,5
  • HEM 108
  • LENGTH 63
  • SHOULDER 48,5
  • SLEEVE LENGTH 65,5
I'm good to go with the 42. Would need only an inch added to the length and another one taken away from the hem.

I got the dimensions directly from Rip. Interesting perhaps also the info to the front drop of the Dominator.
„The front of a Dominator sits higher at the front than the back but it is tubular, it's not a scooped back like the lightning model. “

As this thread is already up, a short question about Corsair measurements:

I'm about to put the order in for the jacket but struggling a bit with the size. My chest measures around 41' and my choice of the hide would be veg tan sheep. Yet sheep can be used only to sizes up to 42, and Rip thinks that 42 might be a tad on the snug side.

I prefer close fitting and intended use would be with light layering underneath. My best fitting jackets currently are Aero's Cafe Racer, Premier HWM and Premier 1920s Work Coat, all in size 42 with slight modifications.

What do you think, is 42-size Corsair too snug?
Do you have the measurements of the jacket? I'm a 41.5 inch chest. I can't imagine the 42 being too snug unless you plan to layer thick sweaters, etc.

My size 42 Lightning (different cut I know) is certainly snug (in a good way I think) but there's still some give. I definitely couldn't put on a thick wool sailor sweater or anything like that. Maybe a thinner cotton sweatshirt or hoodie would still be ok.

edit: just saw the dimensions posted after your original. yeah, 42 is fine. It's about 4 inches of ease.

The Corsair is shorter and a little tighter than the Dominator. You are probably correct to add length.

I asked LL as I thought the Corsair might be something for me.
LL said the Corsair has the same pattern as the Dominator. Just without chest pockets and the handwarmer pockets have a different angle.
The dimensions are the same.
There would then also immediately my question to those who own a Dominator or Corsair... have your jackets a front drop? How big / small is it? @Tom71 ?

No front drop/ straight cut.
Yes, front drop…
Thank you for your answers.
I searched a few more pictures and saw that the front probably ends at the same height as the rear. Front drop should therefore be at 0 cm. This also coincides with the information from Rip.

So I will order now:
Corsair, dark brown veg tanned sheep, beige zippertape, dogtooths lining and gold satin in the sleeves.

By the way, with the new store LL has become a bit more expensive and shipping is now also charged separately.
But I'm looking forward to the new jacket ;)

I am so sorry, Karsten. I meant to say, NO front drop. Don’t know what happened other than being totally jet-lagged. Apologies for the unnecessary confusion.

No problem at all.
Somehow something like that I thought, because otherwise you would certainly have give the length of the FD. ;)

Ordered. But I have changed gold satin to black satin, because I think it fits better to the dogtooths lining.
Now the long wait begins.
But maybe I will have them by next spring. lol
