larger leather biker jackets

I'm a norky size 16 and I really want a grey biker leather jacket but struggling to find one that fits. These type of jackets tend to come up small and i've been baring that in mind so looking for 18 or 20. An amazon purchase of a size 20 arrived today and I can't move my arms in it :-(. Any idea where I can try ? I've been googling and looking on amazon but nothing is coming up in size I need.

I'm a norky size 16/18 and fit nicely into Gap size XL leather jackets. They're often available on eBay.

Don't give up! I'm size 16 - not big in chest but somewhat stocky - and did some extensive research on this last year.

Three size 16s I could fit into my favourite was the Jigsaw washed biker www.jigsaw-online.com/product/washed-biker/J33859_BL010 fitted very nicely in a short kind of way. At the other end of the price range was one from Tu at Sainsburys - their buy online range - which fitted but I couldn't get on with the lapels. I also fitted into the John Lewis own brand, which I quite liked but made me feel incredibly butch.

My all time favourite and now bought was the oversized biker from All Saints www.allsaints.com/women/leather/allsaints-oversized-biker/?colour=5&category=25. It is slightly loose on me in Large, but I'd rather have it that way so I can do it up easily and wear jumpers underneath.

Thanks ladies. A few more places to try

If you can find the jigsaw one in grey on eBay then it is a good fit in size 16. Or it is in store in navy- lush but £299.
I just managed to pick one up in a Knightsbridge charity shop
