How old is the jacket? If it's already well broken in / 1yr, then the sleeves are perfect since it's already creased up to how its going to be. If it's new, then I would definitely want a bit more length to be on the safe side.

Love the 3/4 style when deep fall / early winter arrive. Who made that one?? Nice color on the mouton too. Im trying to concoct a way to turn my red rust color Aero mouton into that dark blonde/brownish tone! Might resort to "just for men" beard color haha
