Now that you mention it, the Wayfarer sleeves may have been my choice had I known of their availability. I really like them. I do have one interior pocket (left side) with no closure device. I am a solid 44. I did not use the fit jacket method because I had previously tried on a 42 cafe racer and it was a bit too snug in the shoulders and a bit too short in the body (for my taste). I rarely saw (or see) anything longer than a 27" length here on TFL, but I ordered mine as a 28.25. It came in at closer to 28.5 and I wouldn't really want it shorter (or longer for that matter). I am 6' tall with more of an athletic symmetry and broad shoulders. I ordered 27" sleeves and they came in at around 26.5. I sure wouldn't want them any shorter. Sometimes I think about if I should have gone with the Italian leather FQHH, but I really want to be the one who forces this stubborn leather into submission. The smell is godly and the squeaking, creaking, sound that comes when the leather passes over itself is so cool. I'm sure that will fade as the waxes and oils wear off. I did not order the kidney panel because I don't ride and I did not want to look like a poser. I wanted a jacket that was not too military, because I'm not, and not too motorcycle, because I'm not. I just simply love leather goods. So I ended up with this design. The only things that will make my jacket better will be age, wear, and the two Thedi leather belts that I have on the way
