    Leather track pants for long legged riders

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to find some pants for track days. I had intended to buy some Firstgear textile pants in a long length, but PMP changed their rules and screwed up my plans.

    I sport about a 38" inseam, with about a 38" waist. Does anyone know who makes a long in a leather sport pant? Or any manufacturers whose stuff tends to run long?

    I know I won't actually need a 38" since they'll be tucked in, but I've been trying stuff on for months and the knee armor is usually not quite where it should be.

    I've also checked into having some made through a few different places, but it's hard to justify the cost for an occasional trackday.

    If anyone could recommend some I'd be grateful!

    Thanks!

    I have this suit for sale. It's brand new. I can't remember the size and don't feel like running upstairs but, it runs big. Too big for me. The length is fine, though, I'm just not "fat" enough for it. I'm almost 6'-3" and kind of skinny.

    $550

    It's a nice suit, but more than I can afford.

    I'm looking more along the lines of scoring some pants off ebay, and having a tailor do up some zippers to attach to my current jacket.

    Oh, man, you're killing me. Yamaha blue and everything.

    Tell ya what, if you get me the size and an inseam and sleeve length measurement, we'll see if it'll be close or not.

    Course you'll have to walk upstairs...

    AAARRG! No! I can't do it. I have a 2 week old daughter and I'm still waiting for the hospital bills to finish coming in. I just can't justify it. Thanks for the offer, bro. I hope you didn't already go upstairs!

    Damn, this is killing me. I'm not used to denying myself stuff I want.

    No worries. If you change your mind, I'm sure I'll still have it.

    I'm 6'3" and bought some First Gear pants and they are actually almost too long for me. You might check those out if you haven't already.

    I wasn't aware Firstgear made leather. Do you know what model they are?

    I can't find the model on them, but I just looked at First Gear's website and apparently they don't make them anymore, sorry.

    That's cool, bro, thanks for looking for me. What size are they? Are they a long length or just regular length and they run long? I may be able to score some off ebay.

    They are a size 40. Just a regular length I believe. I can try to find a pic of them and post it up for you.

    They are the Pilot Pants on the left. You should be able to find them cheaper than that though. I think I paid about $200.
