I'm 6' tall 250 lbs. with a classic Wisconsin beer gut. I normally take an XL in shirts etc. and I'm wondering if an XL in this jacket would not only fit well, but also allow enough room for a hoodie on those cold riding days? Any other guys out there similar in size that can help a guy out? Thanks. I'm 6' tall 250 lbs. with a classic Wisconsin beer gut.

In response to your question: This jackets are patterned and made extreamly well, because they are made of real cow hide leather they have NO GIVE at all, you may have a problem with the arm pits and will not be able to zip it up, order the largest they and see how it ware's on you, the hoody would be out. Return it if it dosent fit on you well, you may want to ask Milwaukee to. I am a slender person so my perspective will be diffrent. Hope it that help. Also ware the hoodie you will be using when you tryit. From the comments of larger men it may work.

I have this jacket and always wear a hoodie. I live in a suburb of Buffalo NY so you know it can be a "wee bit chili"!!! I wear a small normally but got a medium to fit the hoodie. I suggest you go one size up to allow for the hoodie...I did and it's perfect.

My advice is to visit the Milwaukee website and get chest measurements for each size. If you have a fitted suit jacket that number will work. I bought an xl in this jacket at like 200 and no am closer to maybe 220 (i'm 6'1"). It fits fairly close now even without the liner (as motorcycle jackets will). Try an xxl in my opinion.

I'm 6'3 in. 220 lbs with a slight pot. I bought the XL - my usual size. That was too tight. I bought the XXL. That's fine for just a shirt under. I do not use the liner - its crap. For cold (50-30 F) I like a wool sweater underneath, up to a 4 ply Dale Norway sweater below freezing, and the XXL I have is a bit tight for me. I should have bought an XXXL and had plenty of room for underlayers for winter. I don'y mind too loose.

I'm really surprised that Amazon doesn't give measurements on all their dog life jackets. The first one I bought was way too small (another brand) but I'd guess you'd need a small. There are a couple of other measurements I've seen that might make a difference. I did look up Kyjen Life jackets online and found a chart. You might want to try that. You do want a good fit.

I am 6' and 190. A L is a good size. Sleeves are just a tad long but otherwise it fits me well. There's also some breathing room for me. I believe you could fit into a L, but XL may provide some more space.

To be honest, I took the best educated guess I could. Large fit me well, though I have large hands. I would recommend just go with you gut. And sorry for the late reply. Thank, Addy R.

jguitar answer sounds about right. As a comparison, the Oneill larges fit tight like a wetsuit (correctly) on guys with larger measurements, ie 46-48 jacket (chest) size. I was going to say a medium would be the largest you would go with a 36" chest, but for a snugger fit a small sounds good.

I bought this jacket same way I buy other jackets ......one size larger of my shirt.....I wear L on shirts....so I bought XL.....which is just perfect......but I am 5'8" and weight 200

I am sorry I may not be of much help as I use an XL Shirt but bought a XXXL jacket because that was al available at the time. It was way way too big. I only use it with a Alpinestar bionic jacket under. I missed it. But because of its weight I am not willing to buy again. I live in Nigeria so shipping it back for a replacement is not an option, it will be cheaper to buy another than return the one I have already. Hope it helps you.

I'm 6' about 220 and I still have it pretty tight. It's a great vest and is well worth it when you fill out try getting a soft vest to go under it until then it's well worth the cost.

I am 6'1", 210#, 38"W, 43"C, I bought the XL and first time I put it on was a challenge but since then it is a very good fit (stretched and loosened) I'm very pleased and can recommend without reservation. I would suggest you think undershort and T shirt size.

Hey James, I fit my XL Heavy leather MC jacket in mine. But don't expect to pack more then that. its a Pretty nice bag and does the the job!

I am just shy of 6ft tall and have the 2XL long. If you are a thin person I would recommend the medium. If you are a bit larger build, I would recommend a size large or even extra large depending on what the size around, that needs to be covered. I am not a small person and the 2 XL long is more than large enough for me. The jacket is fairly lightweight and I would not recommend it for very cold weather. Other than that, it is a great jacket and very durable. Mine still looks almost new and it is the jacket I wear way more than any other jacket I have.

That depends more on how large around you are. I'm 5' 6" with a bit of a Beer Belly. I ordered the Medium, (Grosse Nr. 7) and it fits perfectly. (A little loose so I can fit a Fleece under it.)

I wear a mens xxl and it pretty much fits true to size. I am a 52 in jackets... So figure a mens xxl would be spot on for a larger, 200plus lb. man. A larger female could probably fit a large or xl.

My son is 5'5" and about 15 pounds heavier than yours, and I bought him a Large which he has worn all winter. He had tried them on at a local store first, the Medium was tight in the shoulders for him, and I wanted it to last at least 2 winters. I figured we'd have to roll the sleeve cuffs back a little, but they were fine as-is. Super-warm jacket, great purchase.

I'm 6' 4" and at the time when I purchased mine,I weighed 245 pounds. I still was able to have free movement no problems. I have the size 6.(XL).With your added 3 inches , Maybe the XXL would work better. But the best method is still to treat the sizing as you would in buying a suit jacket. If your not sure , try going to a menswear and try on a few off the rack jackets, And remember the size. Then order your gi in the same size. I hope this help, Good Luck.

I'm 6' 4" 235lbs and I got a 2X and it fir very well, I could've gotten a XL but I wanted room for clothing underneath such as a jacket or winter clothing. If he's not going to wear it in the winter that should be fine in my opinion.Hope this helps.

I would go with the XL.with your size,it should fit fine over a full body armor. Just my opinion... The jacket itself has good protection. Good luck and happy riding. Burn rubber not your soul!
