    Re: Need advice/ideas on a new jacket.

    Not that he reads my posts since he blocked me, but over a year ago, just as Bulldog suggested, I suggested he should buy a jacket he likes best and have the sleeves lengthened. However, much like suspensions, if it isn't perfect straight out of the box, it's not good enough for Aaron! :P I've also suggested he look at brands that offer "Tall" sizes, or do a google search and find a page like this: http://www.revzilla.com/mens-leather...cycle-jackets# and look for a "Tall" selection in the submenu.

    That Dainese Racing D1 jacket looks sick! http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/d...leather-jacket


    The problem is there's just not a lot of leather options for tall folk. I also have fairly long arms, and my AGV suit is just a little short in the sleeves, but still pretty darn close. The nice thing about gauntlet-style gloves is they generally cover the rest. I will say I haven't had a problem with any textile jackets so far.
