similar build, I have the same problems. The best fitting jacket I have is a bmw one, a light and easy shell -but it is an exception as all of their other jackets aren't cut right. I have a few dainese jackets from over the years all in size 50/40, one the sleeves are a bit short but the other two are better. If you can go to one of their stores it is easier to find a good fit. The one I bought online is the one that doesn't fit the best. Sucks that for jackets that cost that much most manufacturers don't offer long sizes.

I went to Vanson which is near me, the simpler jackets are ok, well made and good materials but really not that exciting. The lady at the store kind of laughed when I asked for help getting something my size. It was custom made or nothing, though they had lots of jackets with features for fitting big ass guts into leather...
