2016 Ultra Heavy Flannel Planned Release Schedule….
-
While I have pretty long arms, I hope this happens in a reasonable way (XL: around 26"). For instance I rarely wear my black duck type III as the arms are super long and it just looks off. I guess it also depends on how Slim / skinny you are - if you have to size up because of the chest / shoulders chances are that the arms run pretty long.
IMO there's no need for change, but that might just be me.

I will second the opinion that it would be nice for the UHF's to be sewn up with longer sleeves but reasonably so as @Max Power stated. I feel like a broken record when I say this but the fit guide on the 107 is perfect and IMO all UHF's should be sewn up to those measurements. I too have to size up a bit in the chest to get the right sleeve length with the UHF's released this season, with the 107 it was perfect. For some reason the 2015 UHF's deviated from that and the fit's changed a bit.
-
All my UHFs are size M (87, 102, 107 green, 130 blue). The 130 is the only one that's a tad short in sleeve length post-wash, but it really is just half a cm or so.
Given I wear reasonably chunky watches on one wrist and a couple of bangles (one silver, one leather) on the other, sometimes I think the shorter length can actually work better. However, it's all so marginal that it wouldn't ever put me off a shirt I liked.
Sometimes the level of OCD about IH gear surprises me (and, believe me, I'm pretty OCD ;D), but I guess others can be even more 'particular' about this kind of thing…

The 107 Cut is golden!

See I prefer the 127 & 130 to my 107. But that could be because I have lost some bulk.
Even thinking about selling it to make way for some of new spring flannels. But then if they are going to have gorilla arms I might just put it on a hot wash
-
It may be the heart and heritage of the brand, but what about…
Paisley shirts?
Selvedge and skinny denim?
Longer type 3s?
Those things don't really make sense when considered in the context of the "heart and heritage of the brand" yet they still are prevalent in the range.

If you decide to sell that red 107 drop me a line, if I have the funds available I'll gladly take it.

I agree that the UHFs are a bit too small. I'm just over six feet and weigh 170. I have three large UHF's, each of which is short in the arms and a tad short overall. The XL is too big for me.
My ideal IH Larges are the 07 and the 92 (hickory stripe and hairline duck.) Both fit perfectly. The large UHF's fit closer to a medium in the so-called large size.
-
I would rather have a longer than shorter length. Normally the body is fine, never had a problem with IH length, but the sleeves is a little more of a problem depending on the shirt.
Why I say more than not enough? While say the longest armed guy/gal(say possible in the world) in their size that fits perfectly, the next person with 4" less arms(in the same size) is having a lot of stacking. They can get it shortened by a professional, but the long armed person can't get it added.
That is how I see it.

I'm guessing most clothes manufacturers have to make their garments to an average body type, of course not everyone has an 'average' shape body and surprise surprise, people with long arms want a shirt with long arms and people with short arms want…you get the idea.
Do I want to buy a £200 shirt and take a punt on having it altered at extra cost? No not really. As you were.
