Both Aerostich and Motoport make EXCELLENT riding gear, made to measure.
I know Aerostich have a UK connection of some kind, not sure about MotoPort.
But I'd bet there are local UK companies that do similar fitting. You may even find something that fits him off the rack. Best thing to do is get out and visit some good shops that stock a good range of gear ... always try on first. I saw an amazing array of gear for sale at the big UK bike shows. Fantastic prices too and many brands available in lots of sizes.
The UK like USA has lots of made in China gear (or Vietnam, Pakistan or wherever) under various brand names. If you find one that you like your could order online. Some do XXL and TALL versions too.
You may have some made to measure companies there as well.
IMHO, few can match the versatility or quality of Aerostich. Andy Goldfine has been doing riding gear for 30 years or so. Great customer service too. Aerostich should be pretty good for UK region as it's from Minnesota ... a pretty cold place in Winter. So pretty good in rain and cold, great design elements.
My only complaint would be the suits are a bit heavy compared to other textile
gear. They have great armor, great zippers that never wear out and fabric that will save you in slide on tarmac. Seen it take abuse IN PERSON. It's tough.
Could all these expert riders be wrong??
