Does the M65 Field Jacket have wide sleeves?

I wouldnt bother narrowing them, to do so kind of defeats the purpose of the original jackets which generally do or did fit whoever was wearing them as your picture shows - on the other hand a specially tailored M65 may be what you prefer, but it will take away imo from the overall feel and M65iness of the whole thing. I think its easy to overthink military style jackets.
I've given up on narrowing it. I'll use it in its original form.

The right decision. Here is my 1987 m65 contract. I didn't even pay attention to the wide sleeves. A very comfortable and practical jacket. Wear it and don't think about anything
