Try AWS, they make a "larger" racesuit and offer a bespoke service too.

I am a big guy, I got the biggest Sparco suit they make from Demon Tweeks, you may have to wait a while. I also know a guy who is quite a bit taller than me, maybe 6ft6, he said he got one too, the same size.

Demon tweeks suppplied my suit - fat chap, and son's suit, tall chap, mine is a bit long for me, but not crotch at the knees, and to get the height for son he had to get one which is 'roomy' but again does not look out of place.

Made to measure would be good but will take time, and I imagine be costly.

The guy in demon tweeks said "Do you really need the biggest size?"

I said "I am a 6ft3 21stone rugby player, I need a big one!"

"Yes, you'll need that one then" he replied.

Its fairly obvious, but I would recommend a trip to Demon Tweeks, or other supplier, so that you can try your race suit on. Whilst I can buy most clothes off-the-peg, the sizes suggested by Sparco did not work out right for me.

I am 6' tall but only 31" inside leg and so have disproportionate height between my crotch and shoulder. For me, you need to be able to be comfortable when squatting down with the suit fastened-up.
