So if the jackets are number sizing, then yeah -- you may go up just one (say, from a 44 to a 46). But if it's just M/L/XL, I wouldn't go up a whole size, or it'll be swimming on you.

You know what, It also really depends on the brand. I was checking out some Alpine Stars jackets and they actually fit like a glove on me in my normal size. However, I ordered the offname brand stuff like this jacket
http://www.motorcyclehouse.com/men-m...22092-prd1.htm which is just like the xelement one on leatherup and I had to size up.
I think it might be a little bit wiser to try out it on in a store first then order online. Especially after that crazy cyclegear fiasco.
