I'm 6'4" and have tried the Cortex cordura jacket, it's well made but some of the taller sizes seem to also assume that you are also fat. I've had some luck with Teknic gear, it's also very well made stuff. I have a prior generation 'interstate' jacket that is amazing for winter and wet weather riding. Also their 'Monsoon' and ' Sprint II' cordura pants are stellar. They tend to be made slightly oversized though ..Well, they are 'overpants' after all.

I've found motorcycle gear trickier to figure out than almost anything if you compare between manufacterers. Icon 4XL just fit me right, Joe Rocket 4XL's completely dwarf me. Nothing AlpineStars makes ever fits me, etc..I've had an easier time fitting a tuxedo.

If you ever have a choice or convienience, go to a store and try the gear on even if you wish to buy online because of cost savings or whatever, especially when you are trying a manufacterer from who you dont own gear from.
