Leather Jacket - advice needed

Hi guys, I fancy a leather jacket - something like a Belstaff Turner - but I am slim (6'2" and 40" chest, 80kg) with long arms and that jacket, size L, is just a bit too short in the arms by about 1 to 1.5". Anyone know of a similar jacket that might be a better fit for me?

Thanks in anticipation.

Get one made to measure.
Judging by Belstaff prices it may not be as expensive as you think and you get what you want, probably better quality.
A Google search brings up many made to measure manufacturers.
I have a two piece bought from BKS over 25 years ago, still going strong. It has only needed replaced calf zips that I got done locally (by Hideout as it happens).
Hideout are only a couple of hours from Leicester, give them a call.

Dont forget that there are 2 versions of BKS

25 Years ago that would have been Brian Sansom who is still working i believe but a good few years ago he sold up and the common or garden BKS is now owned by Frank Thomas AKA J&S

Brian is certainly still making stuff for the rozzers

The company is called now B K S (Made To Measure) Ltd, I had a jacket made by him to my own design. I am sure he can do something for you. He is producing a new range of kit.

Also Lewis, again they can add armour pockets if you wish.

Goldtop new/old company. Some dude purchased the brad name about 10 years ago (?) and he did a very good job. Leather is nice, I do not know where is made, well priced and you can reach out on Facebook.
