I last wore a cafe style racer years ago and destoryed it in a motorcycle accident. I would like another. I wear a size 42 suit jacket and understand the 141 is true to size. I want jacket that is somewhat loose. I don't ride anymore and don't want a tight fitting jacket. So I guess I might need 44 in some makes, but I like that particular style. I do have a traditional biker style jacket in 44 that is old but since it is painted on the back it no longer is a good option for me. I am also not interested in spending $1k on a new Aero thugh I like them.

If you have something that works let me know. Thanks

I guess maybe I am still not sure which size to get. I was set to buy a 42, based on everythig I read about the 141 fitting regular sizes, not the fitted waist size. Then I read a post in another room that said he bought a size bigger because they run small and he finds the larger size to fit well. I am 5'9" and 175lbs. I wear a 42 in most suit jackets, but can wear a 40 in some. I wear a 34 or 36 waist. I would prefer a loose fit not the tight fit. Opinions?

Since I have now found the Foxcreek Grayson is probably better and less expensive I think I may go in that direction. I just don't know what size to get, but I will call tomorrow.

I am just about positive I am now going with the Fox Creek Grayson. If anyone has one in a size 44 to sell let me know. Otherwise I am going to just order a new one.
