I find that the sleeves on older thrifted jackets are short. However, all my grandfathers' sports jackets and Pendletons fit me well, but those were tailored, I believe. If you have the
cash, I would recommend it. The Iron Heart Cruiser, Iron Heart, always had longer sleeves than other brands. I got the Filson in hand before returning it. The Filson was not excellent quality wool, not bad, but also not better than something from L.L.Bean. I would get something used or go with Iron Heart. I went through a used jacket phase, and I have to say, I think I prefer buying a new one—you never know what interesting smells a used jacket will come with; it's the one thing you can’t see in an eBay picture.
What is the Iron Heart cruiser model? I tried searching and didn’t come up with anything that looked like a Mackinaw cruiser.
