Default Boots suits and gloves?

Well I have this little problem with every expletive company that makes boots suits and gloves...more boots and suits. So anywho. I am 6'8'' and weigh like 200lbs. Any suit that is even close to fitting my height is about 8 sizes too large for my chest, waist, etc. Anyone know places that sell tall and skinny suits? I'm thinking about starting my own line haha. Also boots. I wear a size 15 in boots and shoes usually and I found SIDI B2's in 14 1/2 Do these boots run big, small, or true to size? Anyone know large size race style boots?

as far as suits, your best bet is custom. $1000-1300 gets you a perfect fitting custom suit.

Sidi's run a little small--but they also run narrow. i'm not sure if this applies to their 14.5, though. also, i tend to think euro sizes run big compared to the equivalent US sizes.

Damn sorry about ur dilema man, i know most boots run a little big so u could get a half size down from the shoe u wear and it should break in and be perfect.

As for suits mabie u can have one special ordered. GL MAN UR GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AS SAFETY

Custom is the way to go. Try Z-Custom Leather or Vanson

Yea I was fearing that 1000-1300 price tag...erg. I have a teknic armored jacket w/ ce back protector and an Icon helmet. I also have pants with sewn in kevlar knees and hips but they're more for dirt than street. Boots I just wear my leather construction boots...I'm on a tight budget so I guess it'll be away.
