i've having a really hard time finding a jacket to fit me. i'm 6' and 145 (all lean baby  :thumb: ), and any jacket long enough could fit 2 of me in the chest. anyone have any suggestions?

to start, look to the european manufacturers, like Alpinestars, Spidi, Spyke, etc since they're usually cut for leaner types like us (5'6, <120lbs).

Joe Rocket fits me like you describe.

Try Dainese.... they are for the tall skinny Valentino Rossi type guys.

Good Call.  I'm 6'4" 170 lbs.  I have a Dainese Talos jacket that fits like a glove...good stuff. :cheers:

Hmm I shoulda asked here, I got a Joe Rocket jacket in XS (or was it just small?) it fits good everywhere except the sleeves are a bit short when riding crouched, even with my gauntlet style gloves on.

if you can't find any stock jackets that fit check out http://www.vansonleathers.com/.  It's a MA company which will customize any of their products to size or color needs, for an extra cost of course.  I have a friend who is tall and skinny and couldn't find anything so we took a ride to their store.  They have real goods stuff, even if you don't need custom work
