Hi, I'm 6'3" and a touch over 300lbs.  I have broad shoulders and, unfortunately, a broad belly.  Does anybody know of any place within a day's ride of Dallas-Fort Worth that might carry plus size jackets in leather or textile?  Online companies would be welcome though I prefer to try on before I buy.  

I wear 3X or 4X in normal clothing but have come to discover that the same sizes in motorcycle wear are too tight, especially during the zip-up phase.  I am making changes to my diet but the cool weather won't wait and I need something soon.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Deeje - I know where you're coming from...I'm of similar build and fit comfortably in a bomber jacket from Casual Male XL - tall sizes up to 5XLT. www.casualmale.com - Mine's Item# 83970.

I am a 300lb rider myself and I bought a Nexgen cordova jacket and love it. It is light weight and is a 6x that sounds large but it fits great and has a thinsulate liner and large vents in fron and one in back. its a great jacket. I got mine in Okc at poppa's leather barn.  

I got my 5X from threads big and tall.  They are a family owned clothing store and they have a lot of nice jackets and other items good for riding.  They are in Illinois or you can look on their website.   www.threadsbigandtall.com
