Sizing Issues
I bought the Alpinestars Stunt Leather jacket (Size US 44) for my brother and this what he had to say about it:
I tried on the Alpinestars RC-1 Jacket at a store and the fit was perfect. Although the Stunt jacket is designed for a comfortable fit, it seems big in a few areas compared to the RC-1.
The midriff, waist and arms seem a size bigger. The waist straps do not have much room for adjustment. As a result of the arms being bigger, the elbow pads do not align with my elbows perfectly.
The alignment of some of the blue leather bits are not spot on.
Overall, a great looking jacket that will do the job.

Sizing and Finish Issues
I tried on a US size 44 Alpinestars RC-1 leather jacket at a store and it was a perfect fit.
My measurements (approx): Chest-40, Waist-32.5, Arm Length-26. 6 feet tall with a slim build.
Although designed to be more comfortable, the stunt leather jacket in the same size (US 44) seems a size bigger than the RC-1 in the same size. The arms have a lot more room. The waist is much larger and the waist straps have limited room for adjustment.
The finish is generally good but some of the leather design does not align perfectly.
Overall, a nice looking jacket that feels safe.

Who did they make this to fit
I am 6'4" 260 with an athletic build. I got this jacket in a size 60 and it fits terrible (I typically wear a 48-50 US). The sleeves are too short, the chest is too narrow and the waist is too big. It was made for a fat guy with short arms. I realize they narrow up the chest for a comfortable riding position, but come on. The funny thing is I have large arms and the stretch panel does not conform to my arm which I consider to be essential to limit the movement if you go down. So I have no idea who this thing is going to fit.
