Measuring sleeve length?

[bodiem]

How do most companies measure the sleeve length for jackets? Is it simply shoulder to cuff? With dress shirts it's from the neck to shoulder to cuff I believe. Is there a difference?

Shoulder to cuff baybeh

[_ironman]

it should be from shoulder seam to cuff. but for dress shirts in North America, courtesy of wikipedia:

"In the United States, sizes of dress shirts traditionally consist of two numbers like 15½ 34 (the second number is often below the first on the label). This example means that the shirt has a neck that is 15.5 inches in girth (measured from center of top button to center of corresponding buttonhole) and a sleeve 34 inches long (measured from midpoint of the back and shoulders to the wrist)."
