[ST] gear for tall riders?



Hey Guys

I'm not sure how you cope with this problem.
I'm tall and thin - often I find the right length of clothing but they end
up hanging on me like a tent. Clothing that fits snugly tends to be far too
short. With respect to pants, I bought a pair of leather touring pants that
fit well around my waist and in my crotch, and then went to another store
and had 4 inches of leather added to the bottom. They used the same grade
leather with the same grain pattern. All there is to show that an extension
has been made is a horizontal seam which incidentally, is not visible when I
have my boots on.

I haven't sorted out the 2 inches extra I need on my jacket sleeves yet, so
I wear gloves with longer cuffs and make sure I apply the sunblock.

Cheers
Darryl.
