Leather Jacket Fit Check

How do you think this leather jacket fits me?

The style is supposed to be cropped slightly but I think the sleeves are too short, maybe I’m just too tall for these style of leather jackets.

Some model photos I’ve seen online from leather jackets the sleeves are slightly shorter but not sure if this is just too short in this case?

Thanks

I agree, body length can and would work with high-waist trousers but the sleeves are way too short.

2 inches more on the sleeves and at least 1 or more on the body. What happens in wearing is the knits fold under or tuck back as you move around. So you have everything nice and pulled in the photo. but that's not the effective length. It's somewhat of a preference, but on the sleeves, the knits should tuck into the leather, not completely but I'd say at least 50%. On the waist same thing, although not as dramatic. Here probably 25-40% is going to naturally occur as you move around. So do the math on how much longer you want the leather to be so the knits hit where ever you want them to hit factoring in the retraction.
