Jacket for gorilla arms?

I'm trying to buy a jacket, but because I'm thin with long arms I can't find ANYTHING that fits!

Am looking at going down the custom-made route, but before I shell out for that, can anyone recommend a manufacturer who makes long-armed jackets? Leather preferred.

Didn't realise I was such an awkward shape!

Thanks.

BKS off the peg

I asked this a week or so back and ended up buying an RST Slice textile jacket. Can't help with leathers though sorry!

I'm in the same position. 6'3 but slim. Most jackets that fit my body are about 4 inches too short in the sleeve!

I finally found the Furygan Houston Amo II had a decent length sleeve on the 40 inch.

I cant find anything long enough in the body ,

I Put a size 54 one piece on and I cant get it up over my shoulders.

tried a two piece and found they dont meet in the middle....
So now I have at least three leather jackets and one piece and a two piece for sale .
