didn't work out. my shoulders were too big for the 46. looked real tight and goofy because of the shoulder pads. didn't know about the shoulder pads. pretty bummed, the suit was very nice.

Yeah I sized up on a jacket and it's still tight. For editorial purposes it's great and slimming but as soon as i move my arms the shoulder pads are too noticeable and not very comfortable.

do you guys think it'd be ok to tailor down a size 39 shirt to a 38 or would that be messing with the cut?

So should one have to size up for their leather jackets? Or go true to size and the leather will eventually stretch out to fit?

Are the 15.5s also skin tight on your calves and knees on your pairs? They look more relaxed on the models somehow, I think I should size up

slp 15.5 sizing is kinda weird. they are pretty much skin tight on my calves, but i'm also a runner, so if you're really skinny you might be ok. the waist fits big on both my pairs though.

try them on at a boutique if you can.

Size up 1. But your normal size will also stretch a little but sizing up 1 should be okay

Do not size up.

This is how the 15.5's look on me (size 34). I wanted to try 33 but it was already sold out. The reason why I wanted a 33 is because I know they'll stretch with the 2% polyurethane (in regards to the waist stretching). A belt helps reduce the stretching, of course.

Unless he wants to wear his pants a little bit loose, But he could look into the 17.5 cut instead.

Sure thing. These are random shots from a bit back. And, of course, these are the chocolate suede. No idea how the black leather ones fit.

Hope this helps.
