S.A. issues aside, fit and durability being key, Wested or Flightsuits for those of us, like me, with very long arms? It appears these vendors are the only to offer relief for the vertically challenged.

I've had problems with trying off the rack sizing from FS. I have a bit longer arms than my size, and have found their sleeves to be almost an inch to short for me. Wested, on the other hand, have never been to short.
At least that's been my personal experience.

I'm speaking the need for customization in my business shirts, i.e. 40 inch sleeves. These appear to be the only companies able to accommodate "gorilla arms." True, or are there other vendors?

Of course there are, but for a hefty price, of course....

I have long arms and torso too, mostly arms..that and I like a bit longer sleeves on a jacket. It's frustating really cause almost every jacket I've had since being "into" leather jackets, have been too short. That's part of the reason I want to try US Wings next..'cause they offer a Long in most of their stuff.

Similar and different. I have very long arms, broad shoulders and a normal length torso. Fittings are "interesting." I share your angst in finding clothing. I appreciate if you would relate your U.S. Wings experience.
Anyone with a shirt sleeve length of "40," with either a Wested or Flightsuits, and your experience in having that jacket made?
Sincerely
