+1 on Fox Creek Leather. i don't know how much you ride but they are in southern Virginia about 560 miles from the Verrazano Bridge (2029 Elk Creek Parkway
Independence, VA 24348). could be a day ride, go get one special made.
another company you might try is Renegade Classics, while their quality isnt as good, they have stuff on a rack so you can try it on. i got my first vest at one. i still have it but thinner than fox creek leather. they have one on long island. here is the link and address http://www.renegadeclassics.com/?rc=osl&loc=19 511 Commack Rd, Deer Park, NY 11729. You might find something accepatable there at not such a ride. Good luck.

Default Vests to fit at any height.

We can make a vest with any amount taken out of or added to the length. We can get your measurements and recommend the closest stock size vest for a trial fitting. We would then need to talk to you before the trial vest is returned so we will know how much length before we make a new one for you. There is a $40 fee for making a custom vest. We can waive the return shipping fee but you will have to mention that I said this. Just give us a call or email if you have any questions. customerservice@foxcreekleather.com 1-800-766-4165

Now that is service. Don't pass up that offer, you won't be disappointed with the product.
