riding gear advice for tall guy (6'5" 250lbs)

Hi,

I am looking to buy a riding jacket but do to my size I am having difficulty. I have tried on a 50" and 52" jacket at the dealers and the shoulders fit nice but the waist of the jacket is to baggy. As well, the arms (I wear 37" arms on my dress shirts and find them a little short as well) and body seem short.

Is there anyone out there that can recommend riding gear for large guys. I am in the Ottawa area.

I am 6'4 and 200lbs. the only jacket that I could find that fit well but still a little short in the arms was the Joe Rocket Ballistic. It is a touring coat so a little longer but super comfy and with some gauntlet gloves the sleeves are fine.
