Guest Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi this is my first post so can I say thankyou for all the helpful information which I have read on here so farMy question is, I'm a tall skinny lad6" with a 30" waist The jackets i've tried so far are way to short on the arms or too baggyThe trousers seem too short too but I suppose these go into your boots anyways.I like the look of the "wolf kangaroo" 2 piece suits but seem a bit short on the arm.Anyone else in a similar boat and found a make which caters for us?Thanks in advance, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Mate. Drop into Newbies and introduce yourself!!You might struggle with leather mate... As awful as the price will be you might need to buy made to measure leathers or buy the closest fit you can and get them altered.These guys will do both...http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/Pretty good service from what I understand...

jamesw Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 howdy!I'm 6'4" and skinny. I also strugled and tried on a whole bunch of leathers but settled with the Panther II jacket and trousers from Hein Gericke on the basis that they do a long fit for tall skinny people such as ourselves although they may be a little hard to come by. I had mine sent to my local store from around the country! So it may be worth inquiring as to whether they have anything.Good luck and happy hunting ps. they're also not ridiculously expensive.

Foz Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 its a curse!! nothing rteally fits well and truly and the only riding position i feel relaxed and comfy in is that of a cruiser, even nakeds or road bikes feel far too oddit has its bonuses though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
