smokinmonkey Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 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. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260670671122&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CardBoardDave Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Lol def not. Anyone looking to buy a jacket? Size Small / 38? lol 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 CBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyK Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
