Does anyone make gear for tall and thin gals?

MysticNight · August 24th, 2012, 08:11 AM

Ok so I have had the hardest time shopping for proper fitting gear (clothes in general). I need almost an xs jacket but the sleeve length of an xl. I have a jacket now that is a medium and it's a bit big....will be ok for winter and piling on clothes underneath. The sleeves are still a bit short and I have had to make adjustments on the shoulder pads so they are where they should be.

Pants are even harder to fit. Again I need an extra small with about a 34'' inseam. I'm 5'9''

I have been searching and searching and haven't had any luck yet. I also do not have a budget that would allow tailor fitting. Any suggestions?

maybe you could try calling or emailing the people at motorcyclegear.com. they seem nice to work with & usually give lots of fitting info in their listings.

easy solution: don't wear pants

I have some trouble too as a guy with long arms, wide chest, and small waist. I'm actually a little concerned that my gear won't adequately protect me.

I haven't done it myself, but I know some folks who buy theirs custom. It's more expensive, but it does pretty much guarantee a better fit.

you can have gear tailored. you just have to take it to the right tailor. someone who works with leather a lot and make sure they use strong stitching like aramid fiber. 34" inseam and 5'9"... those are some long legs!

Wow, I have a 34 inseam, well 33.5" + 34" inseam, and I'm 6'2. I think we need a pic of her.

EDIT: Nvm I found a video of her

I posted this in another thread already but I am a sucker for women with long legs so I'll post again. All these places make custom stuff so you can contact them for pricing, etc.
