I just stick to the standard riding gear... Thong and a Hockey Mask!

Try ebay. I see a lot of bigger sizes there and cheap. I guess you are one of the lucky few that gets such a discount. XL & 2XL never seem to be cheap but I always find 4x or 5x clothing for cheap. I usually buy the stuff for my bro since he's a gorilla (6'4", 275 lbs). I'm the runt of the family at only 6'1", 220.

Hey Man:

Fox Creek is the best riding jacket out there for the money. I've got a couple of Aero Leather Horsehides and used to have a Lost Worlds Horsehide but they cost and frankly the Fox Creek just rides damn nice!

And welcome from another relative newbie.

Size does matter
I have a 3x but have tries a 1x that fit the same.
I've bought suit jackets that were size 48 but a leather jacket had to be 54 or bigger to fit.
Look around and try on. If you buy on line and they don"t fit you will probably pay to return.
