Ok, same deal, for jackets. This poll is for research purposes, and is anonymous.

Again, I know that sizes are sometimes done by euro sizes, or sm/med/lrg, but for simplicity sake, the poll will be from size 0 - 20, and just make your best guess from there. According to Teknic's ladies jacket chart, 4 is a small, 6 is a med, 8 is a large, etc. But I have a Joe Rocket leather jacket in size small and I am definitely not a 4. So, using misses even sizes will give us a better idea of what we have.

Please keep your answer to 1 or 2 selections.

Thanks!

I am stuck between a 6 and 8. In the winter time, i like to layer so I like my jacket a tad bit bigger. But, I have broad shoulders so the smaller sizes that should actually fit em, are a little tight in the shoulder...

I always get the jacket size wrong when I'm ordering online. Unless I can try them on ahead of time, I have no clue what the size really means to that manufacturer.

I lucked out on my Teknic leathers, b/c the first one I got a real-world adjusted size chart and the second one I was able to try on during bike week.

But several jackets and one pair of pants were so far off what the size chart said they were, it was ridiculous.

All my current jackets and pants are men's since I'm long waisted and long limbed and don't really care for pink, light blue or purple. (No offense to those who like those colors but, why do motorcycle accessory manufacturers think all women want to sport those colors?)

Our local shops don't keep many jackets in stock but they let me order something and return it free if its the wrong size. Nice deal but sometimes it would be nice to have several different brands and sizes there to try on at one time.

This is exactly why I did this poll. I want to see what would be the most common sizes for a shop to stock, if they decided to do such a thing.
