Not quite sure what a Euro style jacket is. I just buy whatever I like and don't worry about it.

man you guys are putting him threw the ringer..
Now if he asked about what kind of oil there would be a lot of people who had thoughts on that.

Mine is strait up style (or Euro) fits tighter and I like that. I have a different kind of muscle to worry about :-) breasts. I also personally don't want anyone mistaking that I am a girl so tighter gear (since I wear a FF helmet) avoids any doubt.

And I would say as a girl, guys look hot in both kinds.

Since it is pretty warm most of the time in So Cal I initially bought the HD leather shirt. It was cheaper than a jacket and seemed to suit the warm weather well. As I started to ride in colder temps I needed a jacket as well. Always thought the "regular" jacket looked cool. However, I learned that it is a good thing in cold weather to be able to zip or buttom right up to your chin. The "Euro" style works better in that regard, so that is what I bought.

Check the quote in my original post. He originally described himself as muscular. No big deal hence the jk (just kidding) followed by my real response.

I actually own both jackets as I have said. The one I chose to ride with on any given day depends on the weather.

They do fit and feel different, and they are sized differently so you do have to try on various sizes.

I too am tall and broad in the shoulders. I am 6'2" (and wish i were muscular too). But i find it difficult to find jackets that fit correctly. I need to look for tall or long sizes. I think my traditional is 54 Tal, while my euro style is a XXL.

As for the comment on GQ or style. It is more of a fit/comfort issue than style. also as I have said my euro style jacket is much warmer when the temps really drop.

I would say, as me, I look hot in *anything* ... but I may be somewhat biased in my opinion.

Everyone should think that about themselves. Because nothing is hotter than self confidence.

This is actually my theory on not so hot bikers with hot chicks. The bikers knew they are cool no matter what they look like and girls love that in a man.

Thanks for all the feed back guys. I was really just trying to create another preference post. Something to keep me occupied while I work
