Jackets made for motorcyclists (leather and other materials) have the arms attached at an angle 30 degrees forward of the usual attachment on regular jackets. This feature makes reaching for handlebars (and steering wheels!) easier and without stretching the back of the jacket across the shoulders or pulling the jacket up in the back. Many are available with zip-out liners for colder days, and some are even waterproof (no need for raingear).
