Help needed over Warriors jacket sizes guide

[warriorswannabe]

On Ebay etc the sizes are;

XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL

Which I assume mean;

Extra small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, 2 Extra Large, 3 Extra Large

Yes?

But what are those chest sizes actually? (In inches or centimetres etc)

And isn't there something about a Warriors jacket being somewhat stiff and so needing to be a size bigger than a normal jacket in order to fit?

And what is the practical difference between the genuine leather and synthetic leather ones?

Thanks.

Synthetic leather is not as durable and is prone to pittering and levels of deteriation.
The sizing issue get's a bit complicated. It may be easier to find out what size the patches are to give a rough idea. If it's these newer 15 inch patches, your vest will be wide fitting.
Using the ones from motoleatherwear (meeran vests) as an example, if you're around a 40 inch chest and normal jacket size is 44, then their size large is the better option.
If you go on the warriors worldwide facebook page, there's a photo guide of some of the vests. Any knowledge I have on a specific vest, I can give a quicker response on there. I won a real leather sized small, made by an unknown company, and it's the same width as ,y large vests; just shorter in length and shorter arm holes.
