Array Who makes jackets, breeches for tall people I need to buy a new jacket & breeches but my problem is that being tall arm & leg length are a problem.
Can any one tell me whose kit will be best for me. I know that prieur jacket arms are very short already. The kit needs to be 800 & stretch.
thanks -
you can get tall sizes from uhlmann (and i assume allstar). they're a few inches longer than the regular stuff. i have them and they're good. maybe other vendors have 'em, but you'd need to ask. -

Array For a while there, Triplette jackets were made for people with extremely (in fact, I would say non-humanly) long arms. You might try them.

Array I'm still using a Triplette jacket I bought about 10 years ago, and I had to have them put longer sleeves on it. So they made them so long that I had to turn the cuffs under and hem them up again. ( But if I get hit on the wrist bones there's an extra thickness of material there as padding, so it's all good. ) 
Most makers can customize fencing clothing for you for a small fee. Ask. -
you can get a custom tailored uniform from uhlmann/allstar in germany for the same price as that of a standard sized one from a u.s. vendor. Similar Threads -
