Jayzonk Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hey Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a touring or adventure jacket that's a little longer than standard. Most of them are about crotch length, but I'd rather have something that has a bit of a longer cut, coming down an extra couple of inches. Thanks, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, J Check manufacturers sizing, (or call Revzilla - great customer support) for example, some offer XL but also XL-Tall (Tourmaster sizing chart). 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks. That's for sizing, but I'm primarily looking for a jacket with a longer cut, regardless of size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall = 2" longer cut regardless of size. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 For sure, I could try a long instead of a regular, but, in general, I wish the styles would go back to a longer cut. I also wish that the manufacturers would leave the apocalyptic look alone and go back to more simple looking stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 MC jackets in particular tend to be based around a length that will fit their sizes without bunching up once you're sitting on a bike. They're not really designed around style while standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Styles have changed. I have a jacket from 2008 and it is definitely a different cut from something you would buy today. It is possible to have a longer motorcycle coat if the bottom of the coat has a flap so that it can separate when you sit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 20, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 @Jayzonk - While I don't like the styling at all of the above jackets, the length is every bit the same as the winter 'adventure-style' jackets I currently have or that are commonly available. Are you looking for a jacket that even longer than those pictured? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 These two happy guys are wearing slightly longer coats than usual, perhaps two or three inches. Not my style, though, and I didn't check the armor level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzonk Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 About that length, maybe an inch or two longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted March 20, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 Look at jackets from Belstaff, Spidi, and Joe Rocket "tall" jackets like @betoney said. Some RevIt jackets run a little longer. Give www.newenough.com (yeah, I'm old and still use that website) a check and look at the sizing comments. Definitely don't look at Klim.
