Calling all long people

[chickenlegs]

I am in need of a winter, waterproof suit (separate jacket and trousers), for my daily work commute. My main problem is getting anything long enough (in arms and legs) in off-the-peg sizes. Large sizes swamp me as I am slim and tall (about 6' 3"). I have asked Hein Gericke if they do longer sizes, but they appear to only stock for Mr (and Mrs) Average.
So, my thoughts are Aerostich, Halvarssons or BMW. I have been very dissappointed with customer service at BMW and the outfits I've tried are generally too short in the arms - and very pricey.
Can any other long people let me know if they have found anything clothes-wise that has solved this annoying problem?

BMW ProRain 3 suit, i'm 6'8" and the XXXL fits me no problem. One down side, it's very yellow.

Was about £80

I am 6'4" tall and have gorilla like long arms and legs. I buy my clothing at Bikers Fashion Arena in Hamburg:

Normally I buy IXS stuff, which is pretty good, but they have more expensive Goretex items also. They have longer/slimmer sizes as well as more Tosser sized clothing to fit the 'fuller figure'

You can talk to Florian, who I think owns or manages the shop(s). His father used to make Leather Biker Clothing. His English is excellent. May be useful if you cannot find anything in the UK.

Hein Gericher are a waste of time for me as they have nothing that will fit me in clothing or boots.

The waterproof over suit from Lidl is stupidly long, if I can find mine you can have it, tried it on once and thought......"I look like a toddler in his dads coat!"

I know it's not what your looking for.....

Otherwise I've found Weise trousers to be too long for me (5'11)
