Right! I'm bringing this thread back from the dead.
I am a skinny freak (5'10", 150lb) with long arms (I need 27" shirt sleeves) like the OP. I have given up on OTR shirts and am starting to kick goals with MTM shirts from Modern Tailor and Biased Cut. So far so good and I would highly recommend this approach to other forumites with similar builds. It's more expensive that OTR of course, but worth it.
HOWEVER: that leaves every other garment with long sleeves still a problem, and in particular, jackets. Most any 36R jacket that will fit me in the body is going to have sleeves that are 1.5-2" too short, and that's pushing it in terms of how much fabric there is to let out in the cuffs.
Bespoke would be the answer, but I can't remotely afford that.
My question for anyone with a similar build then: have you found a brand / model in sport coats / suit jackets that is sufficiently slim, and that also has sufficient fabric to let out in the cuffs? I await your kind information.
