In the never ending struggle of finding suits that actually fit when you're tall and also not on roids, I am coming to you guys for advice.

I'm 6'1 and 150lbs and I feel like which ever sizing guide I look at, I just don't fit the description.

What are you guys wearing?

You are going to have trouble finding a well fitting suit off the shelf. You would have to buy to fit your structure and just accept the extra space throughout. Have you considered a custom fitted suit? Heroicracing.com makes some great stuff and they can custom tailor it to you.

I'm sure you can get most the big names to do custom fitted suits, but it's probably going to cost you an arm and a leg. If you go the custom route your best bet is likely the small brands. Vansonleathers.com is another custom name I hear a lot, but no personal experience.

My understanding is that Dainese does custom fittings at certain retailers, but only during specific fitting events, so you could check around for that.

Hello,

You could try a few different sizes of a two-piece-suit...The miss-match can often lead to a good fit, & most suits these days will have the option of either a 10-inch joining-zipper at the rear, or even a full circumferential one.

Another advantage is that if it's too big, there's plenty of room for winter under-garments to keep you warm.

There's a great many brands available, & as long as it's leather, you're protected.

Leathers with the least amount of stitching will last the longest, & keep the cold wind out the best.

Cheers,

Rastus
