I have a heck of a problem finding cycling jerseys to fit me. European makers are all for the most part out of the question. What I am looking for is a company or two that make jerseys for a 54 inch chest. All that I have seen seem to stop at 52" for the most part.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

If you do not mind loose fitting then go with a DH or MX type jersey. You can even give Under Armor (either loose fit or the tight stuff) a try. Since their stuff is made for athelets (other then cyclists) they make larger sizes and their lg, xl, and so forth are actually what they say. Not like cycling where a 3X fits like a med.
If you do most of your ordering on line I find this place has good deals for U.A. clothing.

Yeah, I don't get it. At least in the USA not everyone is built like Gilberto Simoni (who probably wears a large). Why some of the US cycling wear companies do not follow standard American sizing is beyond me. In street clothes I wear an XL or XXL depending on the maker.

Mt. Borah makes some larger-sized gear. Scroll halfway down the page for the jerseys.

edited to add: Here's their sizing chart. Looks like a 54 chest = 3XL.

I'm in the same situation. I've also found that most cycling jerseys do not fit very well. I have found that Fox Racing in an XXL fit's me pretty well. I can fit into their XL, but it's a little snug.
I've found their polyester jerseys keep me cool. Even the MX style long sleeve ones. I also bought one of their "Aero" jerseys. It's a perforated (or vented) poly jersey. This works great in the summer.
Granted, these are more mountain bike jerseys with the bold colors and graphics, but heck, whatever works.
