Hello, I am seeking advise regarding providers of made to measure (or adjustable standard sizes) for a cycling rain jacket. I am tall with long limbs and otherwise slim, and typically I cannot find off the rack jackets with sufficient sleeve lengths. In addition, the jackets are typically too short in the torso. I assume there are players out there who cater to riders like me. All advise welcome. Thanks in advance!

Not aware of any good options for made to measure. And would be surprised if it was necessary - plenty of tall, slim, long-limbed pro cyclists! Would look at the high end jackets designed for racing and aero as they tend to fit well to your bodyshape. Castelli Gabba rain jacket for example is pretty slim fitting even in larger/longer sizes
Also worth noting on torso length that jackets often feel short at the front when you try them on off the bike, but are just right when you’re in a riding position.

thanks, but main issue is sleeve length. no size, regardless of number of Xes of what I have tried so far are even close to acceptable.
It can definitely be tough finding a good fit with longer limbs. Some cycling brands offer custom or semi-custom sizing, and a few focus on tall and slim riders. Look for companies that let you adjust sleeve and torso lengths or offer tall-specific sizes. Hope you find one that works well for you.
Thanks, do you have some examples of brands?
Cuore has customizable leg and arm lengths on their custom shop. I’m not sure if they offer that on non-custom items or jackets, but you should check them out.
