Topic: Tall riders-Where to buy jackets?

[kck3]

Looking for help/info from the other tall members where they are tracking down jackets that fit. I'm 6'7 and looking for either XLT or XXLT. Seems like when looking online the talls are few and far between.

I run the same size..just depends on the jacket mfr.
its tough to find retailers with tall sizes.  i found it easier to find mfr's with tall sizes
Tourmaster/Cortech has a good selection of tall textile jackets.  I'm wearing the Cortech GX Air.  its a good 3 season jacket.
Not warm enough for sub 40F riding. Marginal with the rain and thinsulate inner layers. Its a great hot weather jacket.
for leather, i've been eyeing the Joe Rocket Sonic 2.0.  one of the few all leather jackets that come in tall sizes.

Just got my jacket in the mail a few minutes ago.  Made by FirstGear.  They have tall sizes, and it fits just right.  I'm 6'5", 215lbs.  Got a Large Tall.   The XL-Tall was a little too roomy in the chest.

Thanks for the info guys. Which firstgear did you go with?  What are your first impressions of it?

I'm 6'5" and I have a Scorpion Commander as a winter/rain jacket.  I find the adventure type jackets to be cut quite a bit longer.

I got the "Rush Tex" jacket, ordered from RevZilla.  It was around $150.  I like it. It's my first jacket that was actually meant for riding, so I don't have much to compare it to.  But the sleeve length is more than adequate. The front comes down right to my belt, and the back of the jacket goes a few inches lower. So I think it will be perfect for riding position.
Shoulder, elbow, and back protection, that isn't too bulky and isn't really noticeable to other people when you're wearing it.  Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

Depends what your looking for but it its leather.. .I am 6-5 and skinny, basically I need a 38 tall which doesn't exist outside of custom. There was a black friday sale and I bit the bullet and bought a foxcreek, phenomenal jacket and the last I will ever buy (even though its not an option online I didnt have to pay for custom sizing). They even sent me a test fit jacket to make sure I was getting the right size. Fits me like a glove, handmade in the U.S, lifetime warranty, made from the thickest leather you'll find, with a removable thinsulate liner, and pockets for armor (or even a gun if you want). I was worried by the fit, but the sleeves are almost too long while the waist sits just right.
