Sleeve Creases

Just thought I'd post a couple of pictures to demonstrate how the sleeves on a FQHH jacket can reduce with wear. The sleeve length is 26.5" which I think is correct when the arm isn't wrinkled as shown here

Now a picture of where the sleeve hangs after it has been creased again, as you can see quite a bit of difference.

When I placed the order I was worried that they would be to long as it turned out an extra 1" might have been better.
Sleeve length is a tricky thing to judge when the garment changes as you wear it.
