Holy moly the stretch actually worked! I still maintain that a discrepancy of over an inch is unacceptable but if the sleeves can manage to stay close to this long I’ll be happy. I have weirdly long arms which really helps me in sparring but is a real pet peeve with jacket sleeve length.

Maybe the sleeves were just cold, you know?

Alls well that ends well. I feel like I hit the jacketpot! So to speak.

. Thank you @Marc mndt
That man always delivers!
Make sure to keep tension on the sleeves while they're drying. Either but stuffing them with towels or by hanging weights on them like @torfjord did.

How did you manage to stretch the sleeves in... 8 minutes?

There have been other members who go on public rants like this, often wavering between being satisfied or not, depending on the replies they receive, and this tells me they can’t make up their own mind and need the reassurance of others to have any sort of conviction.
And here again the rule is confirmed: When in doubt, no doubt. It just doesn't fit.

I understand, but all this can be done with respect without arrogance!!!... He just wanted to create a buzz all this by highlighting its seniority on the site as if this were a guarantee of legitimacy. It was pathetic !!!.....

I should think a bit of patience and Aero would have resolved the issue, though I’m not sure they would do anything at all as the tolerance seems to be hit, or very close to it.
My experience with Aero is beyond any doubt. They always endeavour to make sure you are happy with your jacket. Mistakes happen and you can recognise a good company by how they deal with their mistakes. And Aero is absolutely top in this respect. At least in my experience. I would always order from them again without hesitation because I have every confidence that even difficult situations will be resolved.

Absolutely. Aero is probably the one and only company I’ve ordered from where I have nothing but absolute faith in the outcome. No worries whatsoever.

Yes the newcomer comment made me laugh as he himself is very much the same and has only recently dug his way out of a 5 Star silo.

He may be having a bad day as he's usually a decent member/contributor here IMHO.

I've purchased only used Aeros, but it's nice to see they have good service when/if things go wrong.

I did it the way aero told me to. holding the cuff in each hand and stretching my arms forward. the leather is not very thick but it is stiff and it molds immediately and takes a shape right away. I was shocked and very pleased, but I am worried that the leather will contract again. If it does, I will try more extreme measures: water and weight. I'd rather not have to.

Take it easy friend, didn't mean to offend you. This is an unfortunate introduction and I regret that. Can we move on?

Thank you Biff. I find out results of a major exam that I studied for for a long time so I can be licensed to practice my profession in the state I live in so I would say I'm on edge and wanted to get the advice of experienced and friendly members about my jacket. Nothing more, nothing less. Sorry if that upset some people here.

You're right, that wasn't cool. Did you see what provoked that response, though? Not a very friendly inquisition from someone I've never interacted with before. I've since apologized.
I did read it, and it didn't seem like he was out to get you at all. I mean, it’s not like anyone expected the Spanish Inquisition!

Anyway it's all good, I saw you're waiting for results of your license exam. Nothing more you can do at this point, so just maybe take a break and do stuff that makes you feel chill rather than getting more irritated and anxious. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I can be too reactive. Gotta work on that. I think I'll take a break from here. Too much drama. I can reach folks I need to elsewhere. Catch you later friend.
