The official measurements were posted earlier in the thread:
I measure my 42 as having 25 inch sleeves from shoulder seam to the end of the cuff knit.
I'm 6ft without shoes (183cm), 41 inch chest.

25" cuffs included? That seems extremely short. Platon told me 25.5" from the shoulder seam to the end of the leather part.
did you measure it like this?

Outer edge of the sleeve.

OK, felt the need to show this because apparently there is no certainty about how correct measurements are taken and would like to clarify things and eliminate the possibilities of misunderstandings and disputes. First of all, you need a measuring tape. Don't come with a yardstick, this is for...

Only just saw this now...if that was me Timmbo that's way too short in the arms by a good 1 to 1.5 inches for what I'd want. Yes there's that photo of the tall guy from the Doolittle Raid with sleeves like that but I bet even he would have had longer length in the sleeves if he could have. That's a new jacket as well and horsehide to boot so it's going to scoot up another half inch at least once the sleeves get wear.
This is the only thing (well apart from my "no more jackets" thing) which is stopping me ordering one of these. I'm 6' 2'' and I'm not sure whether I can get the length in the sleeves and body in the stock sizing that I need without having it look like a garbage sack in the body.

This surprises me, though. I'm 6 feet tall, and 17.5" shoulders + 24.8" sleeves look ok but on the short side for me. This is supposed to be 18" + 25.5", so that would make me think there's plenty of sleeve length, but timbbo is as tall as me. Maybe different arm length proportions?

Sleeves too short in my opinion.
