British Pants!

Alto Clothing was pointed out by a friend, and they stock pants exclusively in 36" and 38" lengths. Zing! They seem to have a fierce collection of ugly shirts, which my girlfriend adores. On the minus side, they're in the UK, and shipping is 15 quid. That's $20ish right now, but still, 36 and 38 inseam is a niche, niche market; I haven't seen cargo pants in 36, ever!

Motorcycle Jacket

Okay, Motoport/Cycleport seems to make custom textile jackets, although they're pricey. $400 + $200 for the liner. Really debating on this one, as that's about twice what I figure it's worth, but it'd probably fit significantly better than anything else I've found. For anyone else staggering across this who's maybe not as tall, the gold standard might be the Aerostich stuff; they'll do a semi custom, but not a full custom to stretch quite this far. For leather, Vanson came highly recommended, but they'll do any number of options, but not necessarily add length?

If anyone's looking for the tallest of the non-custom talls, Tourmaster's jackets and Fieldsheer's pants seem to do me well so far.
