I would like to pick up a Victory jacket (leather or other) that will fit a taller rider. (My sleeve is 36/37). Have any of you taller riders found anything over the Victory years that works for you? I'm willing to keep an eye on ebay. I know in an earlier post @VicVisionBulldog mentioned many were European cut, so that makes it tougher.

I recently picked up the Victory Performance Softshell and that has sleeves that fit. I'm also looking for more of a riding jacket though.

I have never found anything Victory branded that fit. You can get sleeves that are long enough, but the body is always too baggy. 10 years ago I bought a custom tailored jacket (I had them put 2" longer arms on) from Fox Creek Leather and that's my favorite jacket. Perhaps have them make you one, and then sew a Victory patch on it?

I'm 6'2" 240#. I normally l fall between an XL and a 2XL. The Magnum leather jacket definitely has long enough sleeves. The XL fits me perfect. I ordered a 2XL first. The jacket was slightly to big but the sleeves were really long.

The sleeves on my XL cover my wrists even with my arms extended on the bars. The Victory hooded sweatshirts have much longer sleeves than most sweatshirts do as well. I also picked up the hybrid mesh / leather Victory jacket in XL. The sleeves are a little shorter on it. Maybe 1/2 - 3/4 inch shorter than the Magnum jacket.

I'm 6' 240lbs. My wingspan is 72" and the (XL) Vic Medina jacket fits me perfectly. It is not Euro cut. It's one of the few motorcycle jackets I have found that has a men's zipper.

My Magnum jacket and my hybrid mesh both have men's zippers too. Definitely American cut on both jackets.

I'm wide in the shoulders with big arms and a small waist. My shoulders make me go up a size in most things motorcycle related. Usually the riding position makes the back and shoulders tight and dig into my shoulders. Most the Vic stuff fits my build fairly well. I have a leather jacket, perforated leather, mesh, and textile Vic jacket. All of the sleeves are plenty long.
