Hi all,

I just bought a new motorcycle jacket (I say new, it's my first and only jacket). I bought it used off eBay and I went be the size I take in a suit, 38.

So the jacket arrived today and it is SUPER tight... nearly a struggle to get it closed. Below is the eBay auction I won and a mobile photo of my wearing the jacket fully zipped.

Glad you took it well no malice ment in it at all SM

As its a private seller and its your mistake theres not much you can do part from relist it and get some of the money back

Had it been a company then you have all sorts of return rights under the dsr

like already said go for a trying on day to find your fit in a brand then bargin hunt online for the same ones

Hope that helps

Look on the bright side.

At least it will hold your beer gut in. :lol:

I'd love to see you try and reach up to wipe your visor whilst doing 50 with that thing on! Moral of the story is don't buy clothing online, unless they give size charts (measure yourself) or you've tried it on in the store first!
