Hmm..

We do, in fact, have a few shops in the area that carry leathers. Regardless, it would be cheaper to order a suit and have to return it for a smaller or larger suit than to drive from Roanoke to Hampton. Just keep in mind that not everyone that posts on DragVA is in that area.

fuck u im right have a nice day
That Fieldsheer chart is a fluke IMHO. It's true that most suits are sized in US/EURO numbers rather than S, M, L, etc. Notice on the chart that Fieldsheer has both, so they're using each point as a reference to the other. They directly correlate with eachother.

Yeah.. Unfortunately it's hard to find a perfect fit in an off the shelf one piece suit. There are plenty of leather workers out there who will modify a suit for you to fit your needs, or you can always rock a two piece if you're smaller on the top or bottom end than you "should be" for your height/weight. Mine tend to be a little long for my current height/weight but I make do. I'm planning to get custom leathers made next season.

I have looked quite a bit online and I figured that I could order something and send it back if it didnt fit. I weigh 155 but I thought some people would have some good opinions on brands. Thanks for the info.
