So I'm looking at doing cosplay later this year, which is great, except I just took my measurements again and they map to the following "standard" sizes:

Chest: Small
Arms: 2XL or 3XL (depending on the manufacturer I guess)
Neck: Medium

So I'm probably going to have to get something taken in or (more terrifyingly) made.

No wonder I don't have any shirts that fit me.

ETA: Ahahahaha. So I was looking into maybe buying something not quite right and having it tailored to fit. Apparently I am the bane of tailors. Shoulders/chest can't be taken in without reconstructing the entire jacket (usually at a cost that exceeds the jacket itself), so buying a jacket of the correct arm length and larger chest is out. Lengthening sleeves is a one or two inch proposition at most -- I'm looking at 3-5 inches with suits that fit me in the chest.

So custom-made appears to be the only way to go.

Awkward body type is awkward.

ETAA: Some clothing charts put my arm length at 5XL or 6XL. Awesome.
