Looking to buy a Leather Jacket for my girlfriend and I'm having a real issue finding something that would fit. (She's 6'2")
I know Cortech makes tall sizes but it's not much help...
XL says it's for 5'5" and LargeTall says 5'7"
Her measurements are 35,27,40 which is more inline with Mediums and Smalls...
Any recommendations please?

Suprise chesty girls that arent fat have a problem finding things that dont fit...she prob cant find a comfy braw to save her life either. Shes an anomaly like my girl. 5'10" 34DD 130lbs. Such is life. You make due or go custom.

She's a 34D/36C and I would like to surprise instead of taking out to get fitted. She just inherited her Dads CBR1100xx and I'd definitely rather see her in leather than textile.

Make sure it can withstand a slide on pavement.

The racing jackets are very resistant to wearing through on pavement. One italian brand uses kangaroo hide since it is both thin and has better abrasion resistance than cowhide.

Did you fall in love with her because of her massive dick?

MotoGP riders often slide off at 300kmh with little scratches
What kills you is the impact
Which is the reason dirt and street riders also wear armor
what's better, leather jackets or armoured jackets?

Leather+armor
A back protector goes a long way
In safety terms nothing's better than a racing onesie
Tourers often hlgo for textile because of features

Gotta get that one last desperate boob grab in before he dies
Try some wuro brands dianese makes good stuff for tall thin guys, they might have something for women as well.

General reminder that leather isn't actually waterproof.
It's water resistant, but enough water will just penetrate through it, and then it will never be the same again once it dries out. And it'll leak pigment onto the wearer in the meantime.
Textile gear is better, cheaper, and more effective at slowing you in a slide.

This; I got lent one once that had taken a 100MPH slide into a gravel trap, since my uncle raced motorbikes.
They're a fucking pig to get on and off, though, so my own gear is separate pieces for ease of use. Also so I can take it off and stash it in a tray for safekeeping when I'm at work.
