You must have broad shoulders! I'm 6'4" and 245 lbs and I also wear a 48. Of course different manufacturers often have different "cuts",My A* ,Joe Rocket and Dainese jackets are tighter than my Icon jackets.

Yeah, but that is more due to design than anything else. A-Stars and most Joe Rocket gear is based on race gear, whereas Icon is based on street stuff. I wish Icon made leathers, I bet they'd be bad ass.

I said "CUTS" fool!!! Hahaha! I'm with you on Icon making track gear! I think Jordan should split with Joe Rocket and develop a track line with Icon!!!

Because some brands (especially Alpinestars jackets) are baggy as shit. If you buy a 42 Alpinestars jacket, it'll feel like wearing a 46 Alpinestars suit. Dead serious, their jackets suck IMO ---- too baggy, and sleeves way too long.

I know a lot of hard-core track riders will disagree with me, based on the fact that Rossi, Stoner, and Hayden don't wear stuff like that, but I think Icon has some pretty bad-ass looking gear. Apply that same style to a decent track suit and I think it'd look awesome.

They must make different cuts of jackets, mine is far from baggy. Sleeves are the perfect length and the arms, chest and shoulders are all nice and snug, and Im far from fat or huge muscle wise. If anything the size 42 joe rocket speedmaster that I tried on was a hair looser than my a* smk.

It wouldn't fit my fat ass and I already have a Teknic 1-piece that I got for a third that price.

Teknic is nice for the $$$ but I can assure once you wear Dainese doubt you would ever wear anything else!
