I wear a 32/33 (more to a 33), but if you get the sleeves as factory it should be perfect. Depends on if you're accounting for the "elbow wrinkling." I think if I had requested a 24.75 sleeve or "shy 25" it would be perfect for allowances. But as I just got it about 3 weeks ago, that's just a guess. No major wrinkling has occurred and I've been wearing it pretty regularly.
My jacket is the dark brown lamb, but following the specs that have been posted here numerous times and requested in a 42reg.

So Hammer, yours IS the '80s fit right? Also... I notice that your jacket has 4" difference between the front length and the back length, is that correct too. Sorry, just an observation that seemed different than what I've come across in the past.

The "front" and "back" measurements were taken from different spots. The Back was taken from the top of the collar, whereas the front was taken from the top of the storm flap. So they will differ quite a bit.
My jacket is supposedly the 80's fit, as it tapers nicely to the waist. Like many (most?) suit jackets, the jacket has a 6" drop (Chest - Waist = 6"), so it is still a bit "forgiving" in the mid-section if you're concerned about that.

Sorry, I may have missed something...but what exactly is meant by "80s fit"? As opposed to what -a 90s and a 00 fit?

The 80's fit is a trimmer, more tailored look....
