Ideally, how long should a leather jacket be for overall length as well as sleeve length?

When looking for a leather jacket at a store, where should the sleeves end up on the hand, and where in the privates area should the jacket stop?

This is mainly personal preference honestly. I'll suggest you shoot for your thumb knuckle on sleeve length and around your jean/pants pockets on jacket length. I feel that is a pretty safe suggestion in that it looks OK on nearly everyone.
