Hey guys,
I have been searching for gear everywhere I can think of. I am having a real problem finding a jacket that will fit me.
I am in need of a long/tall jacket. I am 5'10" and weigh 145lbs. I also have VERY long arms. I have to wear a 15.5 / 35 dress shirt.
I cant seem to find any jackets that will fit my ape arms. Every shop I go to has standard jackets that are all too short in the sleeves.
Any help in finding a jacket would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
Oh yeah, to keep this post on topic. I cant ride my new GS until I find a jacket. So that makes it very important as I pick up my GS in 13 days.

Try Hein Gericke jackets. They have changed their name but I can't remember what they are called now but hopefully somebody will chime in with that.
I have the same problem at 6'3" with a +2 ape index and the Hein Gericke Alien jacket fits nicely.
also try fieldsheer jackets. i'm 6' and 145 lbs, but fieldsheer jackets seem to fit ok without being too baggy. i think they cut their arms about an inch longer than most people.
Check out New Enough (http://www.newenough.com/search_by_category_big_and_tall.htm). They have good comments about sizing on each of their jackets, even how they differ within a brand. They also have good deals.
You might even try calling them. I've talked to them on the phone a couple times and they're very friendly and helpful.
