Jacket Sizing

#1 Unread post by The Grinch »

Anyone know of a jacket maker (leather or textile) that makes tall sizes? I'm not that big (6'1", 160 lbs), but I have really long arms (I wear a 15-37 dress shirt). Most jackets that fit me have sleaves that are about 2 inches too short.

Alpinestars gear seems to be aimed more at the tall and skinny build, check out some of their jackets.

I think Firstgear made some Z-Pilot jackets in tall sizes though I believe they stopped, you might be able to find one on closeout.

Wow the usual complaint is the sleeves are too long (MC jackets are supposed to be a little long in the sleeves)

Check out this link:

Scroll down a little and they have a section on manufactures that have tall sizes. Not complete, but a good starting spot.
