I am skinny (5'10", 150lb) with long arms (I need 27" shirt sleeves). I've 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.
