I thought summer should be like sunny day and warm. What we get so far is cloudy, some drizle, and chills
Like this morning all grey and dimmed and cold

Jacket over vest, my denim jacket sleeve cuff cant fit under this jacket (i just tried)

Locally Perth western Australia made by Sinnika leather , goat hide "Eastman Luftwaffe exact copy"
Thinking about it is my only "bespoke" jacket , made to my request and requirements at the time in the late 90's.
Still gets dagged out for the occasional airing , having been an "every single day" jacket for many years.
It survived a motorcycle off scenario when a 75 year old catholic priest whacked my Harley Dyna from the left.
I skittled around the tarmac and scored the jacket quite badly. "Fixed" it with Kiwi kids scuff stuff shoe polish.
The priests insurance company "bought" me a new jacket (amongst other things !) after the event.
That was in 2012 when I was 53. This shot taken this morning on the beach at Mullaloo surf club. aged 61 !
DIFFERENT photo to the over 50's thread ! Same location , same beach, same Ocean haha...
Hence the "smug grin"..

sleeves, I think, will end up bugging me. I'm set to pay a small fortune to source some complimentary leather and have them lengthened. Or is there enough leather in the sleeve gussets to use to extend the cuff in exchange for making the zip sleeves gusset-less? Too cool to sell! Has anyone ever successfully shortened their arms? I have some steakknives and glue in the kitchen!

That can't turn up well, not with the zippered sleeves. How much longer do you need them to be?

This is really cool! I think hypnotism is less painful

Nick, howzit look with the sleeve zips done up? would that help with the sleeve length appearance?
I also dont think you're destined to lose a 1/2 inch to sleeve creases..it may be so minimal that you'll never notice.
