i brought Large ones (im 32 waist) and i can fit very bagy jeans under them easyly. Work cloths are no problem at all.

Go down some bikeshops and try some on, with the current weather and people money problems theres been some good deals going on. I waited till after xmas and got the suit for 190

Shouldnt really buy gear the wrong size as it moves around to much but i couldnt get textiles to fit sungly like leathers anyway.

I've always been fine wearing my leathers over the top of my shirt and trousers.

The same leathers are fine at weekends over the top of my boxers and a t-shirt, and aren't over-sized or anything!

Just give it a go and see how scruffy you look when you get there!

My commutes have always been under 15 mins, though...

LOL!

And yes - the main problem area is zipping the boots up, unless you're into Russell Brand style legwear!

Even worse on a Friday when I'm in my jeans or combats for 'casual wear' day...

My setup?
Er, well, currently, a decades old black leather jacket, jeans and Globe skating shoes. Not hot in wet weather, but I have no moneys till the 15th. And even then I probably won't after all the stuff I've got to do takes it's toll. Mind you, once I've done those things, this will be my wet weather setup;
