Longer torso jersies

On a thread here somewhere, someone mentioned being able to get longer length jersies.

Can anyone with experience tell me who makes them and where to get them?

Thanks.

Assos jerseys tend to be long IMO.

Assos length varies with size. Size large is significantly longer than medium.

Santini runs longer than most Euro brands.

Do you wear bibs or regular shorts? I used to have that problem with regular shorts but it's never been an issue with bibs.

I've found Descente to be short compared to the width. Maybe depends on size.

I bought some jerseys the other day that are short. There is no way I could wear my shorts with them. But with my bibs they are just fine.

I like that Santini fits, but still have a really hard time getting to the pockets.
