Yep mine was A$100 and I was 18. It was a lot of money to me then.

This picture was half way thru a 8000km round trip home for Christmas holidays.
I can compete. ;-)

the Fieldmaster jacket ends - on the website - at 5xl.
this has a chest circumference of 122 cm.
I have a chest circumference of 135 cm!
only jackets for Italians!
Well as I see it there are 3 solutions , perhaps just one will work for you?

Just want to confirm what others have pointed out that the site that appears to be the Belstaff Australia site and uses the logos and designs etc IS NOT an authorised Belstaff site. It looks like the URL is belstaffaustralia.com but actually ports to fieldmasteraus.com.

I'm guessing no one took into account the "girth" of many Gren buyers; at least they didn't offer skinny jeans.

Have you ever seen a line of middle aged and later male motorcyclists on tour?
In my experience they are rarely built like the founder of Ineos.

I’m not in the moto world, but I’ve been around plenty of Series LR owners and most have beer bellies so big they look pregnant.

I am quite lucky with my belly, 1m87 and 72 kg. Whatever I eat or drink!
Some 10 years ago I was participating at an international judo competition for veterans (next doors for me, in The Southern Netherlands) and we could get a free health check-up.
I went to the doctor to get my results and he told me: "you have one problem, you are below the minimum limit of fat level"
I asked: "So, what's the problem?"
He: "Well, you are below the lower limit!"
Me: "Yess, I understood, but what's the problem for my health?"
He: "Euh, well, that you will burn your muscles instead of your fat when you are doing a lot of effort!"
Me: "So, no health problem?"
He: "Not really"
🤣

That is very true , as a runner ( not long distance) I have to eat like a pig to prevent myself wasting away.
I went to a mountaineer's talk once ; he mentioned one of his team used to binge on pies and Guinness (he was Irish) in the months before an Himalayan trip.
After the acclimatisation weeks he was of normal stature , the others were eating into their muscles and thus weaker.
It's good and healthy to carry a bit of fat.

Having lost quite a bit of weight, now I am in my 50’s I only have to look in the chip shop window and I put weight on. I am 6’0” and 13.5st, I maintain this by skipping meals and running like Forest Gump.

Getting to 13st really is a bridge too far for me.

Can’t wait to get my new Trialmaster and compare it to my 1970’s version. I bet the sizing has changed and I will require a size bigger in the modern sizes.
