Hi,

I'm 6'4", (193cm) and can't seem to find any leather jackets that don't have sleeves that only go down to the middle of my forearm. Can anyone recommend a brand that makes tall sizes and/or shops that sell tall sizes?

I'll even consider a non-leather jacket, (I have a tall Joe Rocket that I bought in Canada that fits perfectly, I can't seem to find tall Joe Rocket jackets here... I'd keep it, but, uh, someone crashed in it last autumn).

Thanks!
Sean

Ive found the field sheer gear to be a good fit for me, although its more suted to the more offroad looking bikes

Im the same size and i have a Spidi R2 jacket that is just about perfect on my arms, its not as tight on my chest as my full leathers but its only a jacket and does the job, its a little short on my back but most leather jackets are :/

I found a decent alpinestars 1 piece thats fits well, tiny bit short in the leg but is easily covered up by my boots.

The best brand i found for size was Arlen Ness although the shop didnt have my chest size in stock but the one smaller than i needed still fit my arms and legs and ive got 35" inside leg Smile

Get 2 peice zip together, when I was looking at leathers I found that 1 peice were never tall enough for me, wouldnt go over my shoulders but 2 peice because the zips give a bit of stretch they fit much better. Thumbs Up
