Vanson Leathers If they don't have something presized they can tailor make it to your measurements. I like the AlpinStar for price and quality but lots to chose from.
Find a shop that sells them and try it on. Don't let them order anything for you unless they will exchange it at no charge if you order something with out trying it on. |
I'm with Jeeps. Find a place that stocks a bunch of stuff....I know thats tough sometimes to find such a place. Fit is very important.

If an off-the-rack Alpinestar suit won't fit you, Bates Leathers in CA will custom fit a suit for you: http://www.batesleathers.com/.
|
If you are going custom I recomment NJK Leathers (www.njkleathers.com) or Barnacle Bill (www.racingleather.com).
I tried AStars and found that they are cut for anorexic women. I currently wear MotoGP separates that allowed me to fit pants and jacket separately. The jacket came with a full zipper, but the pants didn't. I had Barnacle Bill to install one for $25. Vanson is very good stuff but spendy. I don't know HOW gorilla you are, but I have a new MotoGP Corkscrew jacket that I will sell CHEAP. |
im 6'2 185 like a 36' sleeve and i need to take all the other measurements. But i really need to try the stuff on like fatty said i dont want my my nuts tucked up inside me, nor do i want a 6 inch gap between my chest and the leather. bates is like a 6 hour drive away from me i dunno ill go by the local dealership see if they have any to try on.

Frank Thomas is an ENglish brand, they're generally cut to fit taller/thinner riders. (As are most brands manufactured mostly in europe)
Check out the WERA Forums for used stuff cheap! forums.13x.com I got a brand new set of Teknic Violator leathers for $225 shipped. :dthumb: Sometimes you can even find a set of cusotm leathers on there, plus if they have scuffs it adds cred! :lol: |

If I could have found a 2 parter I would rather have gotten it, but you take the deal in front of you when your bargin shopping I guess. All the places already mentioned and Craigslist is a good place to find deals... Check more than just your local area. I found mine on a FL c-list and had it shipped. $.02 Good luck |
I am 6'1" at 200lbs runner/swimmers build. I got an A* RC-1 46 chest and it fits pretty well. I like all the A* stuff though.

There's a lot of people that work for vendors, too. I put the word out that I wanted a Shoei Kagayama replica and a few of them responded quickly with either links to cheap ones or ones from their store. I found a used one on Ebay, but the brand new prices weren't that bad.
Post a WTB there, yo. |

How much do you want to spend? RS Taichi is my favorite, because they use dye-printed leather instead of sewing different colored pieces together. Also you don't find many people wearing them. With your build I would not recommend Teknic (too loose in the stomach and lower body) or Joe Rocket (too loose in the chest and arms) |

Yeh tekinc probably wont fit, the arms are short, and you probably will have to learn to suck your stomach in or risk breaking your zipper.
