Hi everyone,
I just purchased two jacket from AVI leather. One is Russet Bronco A-2, the other one is G-1. Both of them have size of 44.
About myself. I'm 180cm (5 feet and 10.9 inches). I'm 200 lbs. My chest is 42.5 inch, and my arm is 26 inch (this is the arms boundaries, not the arms length). I found that the jacket with the sizing of 44 from AVI leather is too tight for me.
The G-1 jacket, it's tight on chest level, especailly when I fully zipped up. But the arms of their G-1 are a little bit longer. I found the shoulder and the back length are perfect. I can move my arms forward easily, but cannot move my arms backword too much. (probably because of the design of the G-1 has some extra space on the back part)
The A-2 jacket, it's even more tight on chest level. Also the shoulder is too narrow. I can hardly zip up the jacket, and my arms can not move smooth with the zipped jacket. However, based on their sizing chart, it shows that the arms length of this A-2 bronco jacket is even longer than the G-1. That means if I purchase a larger size of A-2 jacket, I might be able to have a perfect shoulder, but the arm lengths will be much longer.
Now I want to make a exchange to have a different size of these two jacket from AVI leather. I have several questions. If anyone can help with that will be great and I'll really appriciate it!
Thanks again if anyone can share some experiences and ideas. This is my first post in this forum. Hope everyone can have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

- I think the sizing of their brand is a little bit weird. I previously bought the jacket from alpha industries, cockpit usa, san diego leather jacket factory, etc. Everytime I will buy the same size (40 or M) and it would perfect suit me. I not sure why the sizing of AVI leather is much different than other brand. Even 44 can not suit me. Does anyone have better ideas?
- If I want to have an exchange, what size should I buy? For example, the 44 sizing G-1 jacket have tight chest, long arms, perfect shoulder and back. If I buy the 46 size of G-1, then I might have a perfect chest, shoulder and back can be fine, but the arms will be too long for a jacket. Also If I buy a 46 size of A-2 jacket, I might have a better chest and shoulder, but the arms wIll be too long for me as well. Does anyone have better ideas?
- For return or exchange, I'm in USA and I have to mail it back to Denmark. The AVI leather mail these two jacket to me through DHL. I got a free quote from DHL online and it told me I need to pay at least 377 dollars to mail items back to Denmark. It's just too much and I can just buy a new one. Does anyone previously return or exchange the jacket from AVI leather? What kind of mailing did you use?
