Does anyone make custom order Safari Jackets these days?

Need a very tall version and it appears no one is left in business doing this here or in Zimbabwe. The Cabelas Tall model is for 6'1-6'4" which where I come from is called "average height". :) Hence, looking for a size 52 Extra Long tan poplin bush jacket for past year with no luck.

Thanks for any leads. Tried Lost Worlds in NY but they want >$1500 and that's not happening.
 
Nobody in Zim sews anymore? Bet a tailor in Zim is a lot cheaper than a $1500 jacket! Bet a tailor in central IL is a lot cheaper as well.
 
Good looking jacket and the XX might work for rookhawk.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
