As the thread title suggests, does anyone know of any place to get a custom textile or mesh jacket made? I have been completely unable to locate a place online.
I've lost 160lbs in the past two years, so my old stuffs that I made fit no longer do, but I'm still short and rotund as I still have another 80+ pounds to lose for my goal. I just had new leather chaps, vest, and a jacket made by LEATHER-SHOP.BIZ. They do good work with leather, but don't expect them to be quick. Expect it to take twice as long as their websites 3-4 week delivery time.
That being said, I've been COMPLETELY unable to find anything for summer wear other than a leather vest. I've hit every shop I can find and tried on everything in the men's section and a few on the ladies side. Everything is either European sizes (meaning my normal XXL shirt wearing frame has to get a 6XL, which almost no one carries), or I have to be 6.5 - 7 feet tall. Jackets usually hit mid thigh instead of at my waist, and sleeves are usually 6 or more inches too long.
I've been on the hunt for a light weight, mesh, summer jacket since April and have yet to find anything.
For reference, I'm 5'7", 255lbs, and in jeans I wear 48x30's... however the measurements I just had everything made to was a 52" chest and 60" waist.
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Try RevZilla.com or you can call Erick M. for questions or assistance in put a order together at 877-792-9455. They helped me with jacket and pants, I'm 6ft 295.

Pricy. But it suppose to be extremely good stuff.
Aerostich?
Thanks guys! It looks like motoport is the winner.
I called revzilla back in June or July and they didn't really have anything that would work with my frame. Same with CycleGear, though we did try a few that I then returned to my local store.
I'll be ordering from motoport next spring, so I can order with fresh measurements as I continue with the weight loss.
Thanks again!
