Leather Jacket question (sizing)

Howdy all. So I'm shopping for a leather jacket and am having a heck of a time finding stores that have much selection for my correct size. I'm a pretty small guy wearing ~38 sized jacket. I've looked online, in store, and asked around and can't seem to find a definite answer on what to do. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue with pants. Most manufacturers have online size charts (Dainese, Alpinestars etc.), and most online shops have liberal return policies. I'm just going to go by one of the size charts and order online. I'll return them if they don't fit.

No the best option, but it's about all I have.

You little guys need to shop in the woman's department. Stay away from the pink stuff though.

Is it an arm size issue or waist issue?

Its more of a waist issue rather than arm.

So you're skinny, what's the waist size 30-32?

Mesh leather I believe can be altered but not sure. It depends on your jacket and cut. I would suggest going into Cyclesector for RS Taichi gear and trying them out. They're in San Diego but that shouldnt be a problem for you.

I run a 28-30 waist, 36 size jacket 5"4 and I have to run through the Japanese sizing but it fits well enough.
