Danger Sheepskin Jackets

I would like to buy a sheepskin flying jacket. Not to wear with my helmet and grow bag when I fly a Cessna, but to wear when I'm Thrustering. Yes, I've tried wearing various combinations of jackets and jumpers, but I still get cold. After the last adventure Genghis and I had, when I was almost frozen solid and he was sickeningly cheery, I decided enough was enough... I'm going to invest in a proper jacket.

No, I'm not going to use it to pose around the airfield. Not that there's anyone much to pose to where the Thruster is based. And no, I won't be sewing on various cloth badges.

So... does anyone have any recommendations? The search facility leads to lots of people suggesting Aviation Leathercraft, but there must be alternatives. My main problem is I may need it custom-made or adjusted. I have a relatively short back and long arms. No comments about Orangutans please!

Please don't let this turn into another 'outfit-bashing' thread.
