Default Leather suit advice

Does anyone have suggestion as to the which leather suit would fit my body type the best?

I am on the tall/lean side. (6 feet tall at 163 lbs). Jacket size is US 42, but waist is 33 inches.

Thanks!

I am almost exactly the same and I have found that A* size 52 is a pretty good fit. Not sure if that answers your questions, but I have found them to be cut thinner through the mid section than other brands.

6'
175 lbs
32" waist

Spidi 52 fits great...but, the thigh is a tad short and put quite a bit of pressure on my knees until the leather stretched out.

Many of our suits are built for the tall and thin body type. I would especially recommend the W-Frame as it is a uses a dual zipper entry with extensive use of D-Stone stretch panels making it a very comfortable suit for us taller types.

Go take a look at www.dainese.com and see if there is anything that catches your eye. More than likely I will have it in stock for you to try.
