I'm looking at getting one of the 6 Day jerseys from http://www.assosfactoryoutlet.com/ but I'm a bit stuck on sizing. I might give them a call but personal experience is useful too.

I'm 6' 4", 39" chest, 32" waist so I'm a medium for fit but obviously not for length. Any ideas? Also do Assos tops have short backs and good grippers, I hate jerseys that slip down?

    They're interestingly sized. I'm bigger than you in the waist, but shorter. 40" chest. XL was sprayed on. I think you might get away with the XL. At 6 ft 4 I'd certainly not do the medium.

    They're brilliant at returns mind. Good company

    Assos sizing can be all over the place - the Roumanian produced jerseys seem to come up at least a size smaller! 39" medium? I think not - L or even XL.

    I think xl would be your best bet to have a decent chance with length. They are generally pretty tight fitting, but in your case may just be slightly loose, or put another way, more comfortable!

    Same build here & I would go XL as others have suggested. I have tried XLG, which seem ok but in the end are slightly too baggy, especially when you start popping stuff in the back pockets. Good luck with your decision Routier.
