    Jackets..

    I need some help, I just got my 2nd Joerocket sonic jacket today, And its now too big...the first one was a 3x but the arms were almost to my elbows.now the 4x is too big. but the arms are perfect. does JR make anything for the big boys?I am 6'2 230lbs what is a good jacket out there for me? and a place where they have a few you could try on.

    thanks in advance for the inputs..

    Have a custom made at Vanson. They'll measure you up and it'll fit perfect...but it'll cost you more $$$.

    I had a Motoport GP Kevlar jacket made, ran about 4 bills, fits like a glove because it was custom sized when made.

    If you want leather you could do Vanson, they do the same.

    I like the Kevalr b/c it offers high protection but is very breathable which is key for me as it's my all seasons, street, track, etc. jacket.

    I had a Vanson made for me. It ran me about $650. I had sleeves shortened and the collar changed. No alterations were needed to length so it was a lil cheaper. The price was $550 + $100 in alterations. Well worth it tho. I lowsided @ 55-60 and the jacket saved my whole arm and shoulder from serious rash. The patch on the shoulder ripped off and it got a little scraped up but nothing major. High quality stuff.
