So I'm starting to price up gear for when I start doing my DAS as I want my own proper stuff not whatever loanee junk they have that some guy going commando has roasted his nuts in. Trouble is I'm a lanky git at 6'4 with a 35 inside leg so finding stuff brick and mortar is hard. Anyone know of any good online retailers for us cobweb dusters?
Best places for gear for a lanky bloke?

I'm 6ft 3 and skinny, best thing to do is find your local dealer and try EVERYTHING on.
I found furygan kit fitted me the best. Try and find somewhere that stocks this. I have textiles, leathers, kevlar jeans all furygan as it fits very well.

If leather is your thing, I actually had someone tailor me up some trews. Cost about the same as a reasonable brand, but still cheaper than the bigger names.
I'm only 5' 11", but have gibbon-arms and 33" inside leg.
I've found both Halvarssons trews and Frank Thomas jackets fit very well off the peg.
Textiles and kevlar jeans, not so much.
Draggin' Jeans all seem made for people with a 4" rise... or perhaps are to be worn like the Yoof, hanging low to fully expose the underwear?

Dainese do tall sizes in some gear, look for 104 rather than 52 for instance in jacket and "pant" sizes to get the tall versions.
It's what I use at 6"3 with 33-34" inside leg.

Look at the "DEVELOPEMENT OF CONFORMED SIZES" section.

Try sportsbikeshop. They do free returns so you can try some stuff and send back if it's too small.
Edit: also check out Hood jeans. They will modify the inside leg for you when ordering. Just looked now, they go up to 36" inside leg.

If you really want to treat yourself, check out hideout-leather.co.uk - Custom leathers and textiles!!
Where I get All my gear from & I'm 6ft 5, I even got size 15 boots off the shelf from there.
