Default Riding Jackets

I'm in the market for a textile jacket because i like my skin too much. Anyways i'm a rather tall and skinny guy (6'4" 175lbs) so my problem is all these jackets that have arm and waist length and circumference are too short, they don't go far enough down on my torso. Really haven't been able to find any "tall" jackets and when i do the choices are limited and not very appealing. Anyone have any sites or advice for me?

Cortech GX sport series 2



Im 6"3' and generally wear XL tall in every shirt/jacket. This jacket however fits great in just the XL version.

I just picked one of those Cortechs up in silver from Cyclegear for $130. It fits great, comes with 2 liners and etc. I wear it a size down from what I normally wear as it seems they've had pretty umm.. "stout" fellows in mind when they designed it. It fits a lot longer than any other jacket I've ever worn. Cyclegear is a pretty big chain so you should check to see if there are any locations near you to try one on.

It breathes great, comes with CE padding, has high visibility, but it's a bit on the heavy side. Also, it kind of puffs up in the belly/chest area when in riding position.
