Default Tall size riding jackets ?

Is there anyone who makes tall size jackets ? I am 6'1" about 188 lbs and i have found that i can not seem to find any tall size jackets. I have tried L and XL but they are all too short (and uncomfortable) and ride up to the middle of my back when riding.

I'm 6'6 and Icon has the best tall size jackets IMO. The 3XL is a good fit for me and the sleeves are long enough but I just jumped up to a 4XL for more comfort in my chest area. hope that helps

I know theres a couple of threads on this topic already, I'm 6'4 and ordered an A* textile jacket... it's great when riding, but it is pretty short everywhere.
Anybody got pics of these icon or scorpion 'tall' jackets? I may look to upgrade, my brother wants my A* jacket anyway lol...

Thankx guys. I may just end going with a icon field armor vest and wear my carhartt jacket over it. The carhartt is great on wind resistance, even at 75 mph i can not feel the wind through the coat.

Im 6' 3 and I bought a Joe Rocket Phoenix 4.0(I think thats what its called)jacket off of ebay for 70 bucks shipped. its an xl and its like a bell shirt, but the sleeves are long enough. I wear it anyways. Nobobdy really sees it until i get off of the bike and I dont give a ..... what they think [sm=laughat.gif] Id rather be protected. I do plan on getting a new jacket as soon as my income tax comes in. Those icons look nice

I'm about your size and wear a Cortech GX Air medium tall, 42-44 chest.

It fits my 6'5" wingspan pretty well...
