No worries, that works fine for me I'm almost identical in height/weight and arm length, so it sounds like I'm also between an L and an XL... dang. How short was the L in the sleeves? I wear long cuff gloves so it may not be an issue.6'1" 185# 24" from pit to wrist. Sorry, I'm not a tailor so I don't know how they really measure arm length.
