What he said. I'm 6'0 and 160 and my RS Taichi jacket fits great. They are definitely Japanese shaped and sized.

Teknic is the opposite.......Baggy stomachs.
I do have an Alpinestars jacket where waist fit isn't so critical. The waist is so loose on it I can carry a gun and spare magazine under it, and the chest is pretty damn tight.

Rider... what or why are you looking at A* for riding on your star? Honestly?

Few suggestions

Consider riding position.. you don't want some rocket jacket to rider your cruiser... it will suck.

Check out powertrip, fox creek leather, vanson, or even the HD store.

Even better. Get a Brooks jacket (25 yr warrenty). Buy it at the shop down here, lifetime warrenty!

Speaking of which. Its called A&M Leather on Eureka Rd. Just outside the airport. Little shop. Ran by old school bikers. Sell and service many leathers.

A good American leather jacket will always be WAY WAY nicer than that china and packistan leather. HUGE BETTER! But it will cost ya $400. I could show you the difference. I have a Brooks leather jacket. I have a cheap crap vest, that I want to replace with a Brooks leather vest. Just haven't spent the $140+ to get it.
