Size Guide & Made to Measure
Every Motorce suit is cut from your own measurements.Nothing is picked off a size chart, which is why the fit works and why these numbers need to be right. Read this page before anyone picks up a tape.
How it works
STEP ONE
Order your suit
Choose your model, leather, cut and colours.
STEP TWO
Send your measurements
Book a fitting in Welshpool, or have someone measure you at home.
STEP THREE
Approve the proof
We send a design proof. Nothing is cut until you approve it.
STEP FOUR
Built and shipped
Around four to six weeks from approval, shipped Australia-wide.
Before anyone picks up a tape
Most fit problems come from these eight things rather than from the measurements themselves.
01Have someone else measure you. Never measure yourself, you can't hold the tape level on your own back.
02Best done by a tailor or alterations shop if you can get to one.
03Wear a close-fitting base layer, compression gear, or sport shorts and a t-shirt.
04No jeans, no bulky clothing. If you're in looser gear, measure right against the body.
05Tape snug against the body without pinching the skin. Close, but not tight.
06Stand straight with muscles relaxed unless a measurement says otherwise.
07If you ride with a back protector, wear it. The suit has to fit over it.
08Check every measurement twice before you send them.
The 26 measurements
The red numbers on each diagram match the numbers in the list beside it. All measurements in centimetres.
Chest, waist and neck
Arms by your sides and relaxed. If you ride with a back protector, wear it, the suit has to fit over it.
1
Chest
Around the fullest part of the chest, usually level with the nipples but wherever is biggest. Breathe in, then record.
2
Waist
Find your navel and wrap the tape around at that level.
3
Neck
Around the base of the neck, between the collar bones. This sets where the collar and top of the front zip sit, so keep it comfortable.
4
Arm length
Arm bent to an L. From the shoulder pivot, along the outside of the arm, via the elbow, to the most prominent wrist bone.
Down the arm
Keep the arm bent to an L-shape for all five, tape close against the skin.
5
Shoulder to elbow
From the shoulder pivot to the point of the elbow joint, along the outside of the arm.
6
Elbow to wrist
From the elbow joint down the outside of the forearm to the most prominent part of the wrist bone.
7
Upper arm
Flex your bicep. Circumference at the fullest part.
8
Forearm
Flex your forearm. Circumference at the fullest part.
9
Wrist
Around the wrist in line with the wrist bone. Comfortable, not tight.
Across the shoulders
Head and neck forward, arms slightly forward, as if you were on the bike.
10
Shoulder width
Across the back between the shoulder pivot points, where the shoulder seam will sit.
Front of the body
Tape close to the skin, following the curve of your body rather than straight down.
11
Front neck to navel
From the centre of your collarbones down the front of the body to the navel line.
Back of the body
Head and neck forward. This one and the last need to finish level with each other.
12
Back neck to navel
From the nape of your neck down the back to the navel line.
Through the body
Stand with your feet slightly wider than your shoulders.
13
Front neck through crotch to back neck
Start between the collarbones, down the front, under the crotch and up to the nape of the neck. Head tilted forward for the longest measurement.
14

Fit
A race suit is meant to be snug. Leather gives a little with wear, so a new suit feels firm at first, that's correct, not a fault. Armour has to stay over the joint in a slide, which it can't do if the suit is loose.
Don't add room "to be safe". We build the allowances in. Measure the body accurately and let us handle the rest.
Returns
Because each suit is cut for one person, we can't accept returns unless the suit is faulty. Measurements are the customer's responsibility, which is why we ask you to sign them off.
If something isn't right when it arrives, contact us, we'd rather fix it than have you ride in a suit that doesn't fit.
Not confident with the tape?
Come to the Welshpool showroom and we'll measure you ourselves. About twenty minutes, and it removes the guesswork entirely. Appointment only.
