The tops of the shoulders end at almost the exact point that my shoulders end. In my experience with suits and other jackets this is a good rule of thumb for shoulder fit. Is there a different rule of thumb with leather jackets? It's much more maroon than in the pictures on Schott's site. I...

Sure, no problem. The leather isn't super stiff, but I admittedly don't have a whole lot to compare it to. I think the pictures clearly show that the arm length is super long, and with the zippers on the arms I doubt that can be easily rectified even if I loved the fit...
