Perforated leather jackets with longer sleeves?

[gradus]

Looking for other suggestions to my problem.

I'm shopping for new gear and have a good idea what I want.  I'm looking for a 2 piece that zips together with perforated leather.  Problem is that the sleeves are usually too short.  I've found that Dainese sport jackets have longer sleeves (ie. racing jacket).  There other types of Dainese jackets have sleeves that are too short.  Every Alpinestars jacket that I've tried has sleeves that are too short.  Do some Alpinestars jackets have a different cut?  There are plenty of tall thin riders, so which brands work best?  I'm ok with buying the Dainese jacket, but want to know if there are other options.  I'm 6'1'' and around 190lbs and wear a size 44 riding jacket.  My previous jacket was a Frank Thomas, which fit well.

I have a Suzuki branded AGV perforated jacket that fits pretty well.  I am 6'2" and 200.  In the AGV brand I wear a 46.  All three of my leather jackets are AGV and the fit is pretty good and they come with zippers in the back to connect to pants.  If you want full zippers AGV will sew them on for you.

I'm not sure where your'e located, but Vanson's In Fall River, Mass. will make your leathers to fit you. Expensive, but top quaility custom race weight leathers. Check 'em out... http://www.vansonleathers.com/

Or for a cheaper option, consider Spartan:

Depends what you're going to use it for. I'm considering a second spartan jacket that'll zip to the pants but me a smidge longer than the one with my 2piece.

At the upper end of the price scale - but probably not much more than Dainese - check out Aerostich's new leather Transit - both jacket and pants available seperately or priced slightly cheaper if you buy both pieces.  I see they have short, regular and tall versions of their jackets in all of their size ranges.

My Vanson, 44L, fit me like custom, but at an off-the-rack price . . . . .

You're either too tall for your weight or too skinny for your height and I don't think the Procrustean solution is appropriate in this instance.  If you can't shorten, you'll have to widen.  
Eat this

and this



wash them down with this



and your length-to-width ratio will come more in line with available moto-gear.

I resemble this remark, and am still on the hunt for non-custom (Motoport) gear that'll actually fit. A FirstGear large tall fits OK in the shoulders and arms (might be an option for the OP? Do they have a perf leather offering?) but is HUGE in the chest and waist. I'm actually eyeing the BMW Streetguard 3 or Comfortshell as an option.

I'm definitely outside of the norm, though, and especially outside of the US norm. 6'7, 195lbs, 32" waist (YAY) and 43" chest, so I don't really expect MUCH to fit.

Scorpion stinger fit me fine and I have a pretty long wingspan.

No idea if would pay this price but sites have them on sale off and on. Seem very well made...love mine.

NewEnough is running a decent sale on a perf jacket now. No idea about sleeve length but looks liek a decent jacket and might be worth a try for those looking..

You aren't just outside the norm - you're a freak of nature    next thing your going to tell us is you're not only tall - your dark and handsome to go with it.  
I think you might be a perfect candidate for something custom made - as noted above - Vanson does custom made leathers - check them out.

'course I am. Except I'm English, so 'dark' doesn't really feature into it. Glow in the dark, perhaps?

I have custom leathers (see Spartan). It's touring gear that's the issue. Teiz is an option, but I've been spoilt by the fact that my Kili is waterproof and so I don't need to get an (even more ill-fitting) rain jacket over the top of it. Waterproof liners are pretty useless, IMO, because every time I get caught in the rain down here I'd be SOAKED by the time I got the jacket and p[ants off and those in.

I'm 6'3", 190lbs and wear a 16.5 x 35 dress shirt.

My Rev'it textile gear fits great (European cut):  XL jacket (not tall), Large Long pants.  I would expect their leather gear to fit similarly.

My two-piece, perforated leathers are Alpinestars SP-1 (?) in a 44 jacket and 38 pants;  the sleeves and pant legs are a little short, but I wear gauntlet gloves so no issue.  Cheap at motorcyclesuperstore.com.

FirstGear also makes tall jackets;  my Mesh-Tex is a Large Tall and is actually a little too long!

I would also look at Spartan for reasonable custom-tailored if you can't find anything off the rack.

HTH,

+1 on First Gear being cut long. Not sure how much leather gear they are doing these days. I have some textile pants from them in the long sizes, best off the rack fit I've found.

One option I haven't seen mentioned is Teknic, if you can find them. I have a perfed leather jacket of theirs I got on closeout from NewEnough/MotorcycleGear a few years back, nice quality, and fits very good. I'm 6-4/200#, it's a size 48 reg.
