If you can't find a good fit with an off the rack jacket, a custom jacket is well worth the extra $$$.
Try Bates, you can get a perfect fit and get what you want in terms of material, vents, pockets, armor or padding, etc.
My arms are too short and too thick; sport coats are easy to alter, M/C jackets are not easy.
I bought a Bates leather jacket 20 years ago, still a favorite jacket, but it seems it shrunk a little in the waist.
