Try www.stirton.com it's a forum catering mainly for small-bore. Good second hand kit from time to time.
If you want new stuff, there's the NSRA shop, https://www.nsrashop.co.uk/

A drive down the Bisley to the NSRA shop would probably be a good shout, they usually have a good selection in various sizes.

Gehmann jackets would be a good starter.

Also, Ian at Tenring Sport has some very good, but cost-effective jackets.
