I’m 6’4” ( 1.93m) I use Gil ocean series. My problem is all my height is in my torso ( I wear a 30” inside leg ! ) my childhood was always spent with my shirts and tee shirts constantly flapping out of my belt and riding up

My go-to foul (1 layer) weather jacket is a Viking Journeyman oil resistant size 4XL.

Safety yellow hooded with a drawstring around the hood and sealed with snaps.
Sold by Alliance Merchantile INC. Made in China.
80 % PVC 20% Polyester seames are welded.

I am 73.5 Inches tall and depending on season, 240#
I is plenty Large and long enough to go over a cold weather jacket and past my beltline.
In hot sticky wet weather it is a sweat bucket.
Has held up well for the past 5 years.
This gear is for sale at mostly safety clothing stores. For less than $50 USA.

It has a warning label to not hang to dry in the sun!



Stay dry

Take a look at Lands' End, I too am 2 meters tall and their stuff fits me well. I Haven't tried there high end gear but everything that I have bought from them has been high quality and their return policy is top notch.

I reached out to Gill and HL. They both responded. Gill is going to launch OS25 tops and bottoms in February and will have T sizing.

HL responded with some detailed measurements.

Land's End Squall seems like the best selection for the time being.
