from what i can see it looks like the long cuffs are part of the sweatshirt underneath, the jacket sleeves seem to be a good length.
and maybe i just don't understand the aesthetic but surely unstructured blazers like that are not supposed to fit dead-on at the shoulders.. (like EG, for example)

Yeah, that's the reason I am unsure about the jacket and posted it here - I can correct the sleeves in two seconds with a sewing machine and some scissors, but I might just sell it instead.  I don't even think I have smaller-than-average shoulders, although my arms might be a little short.  Most of my other stuff fits me well in the shoulders, with the exception of that MMM denim jacket which seems to be too big there in every fit I've ever seen of it.

It's not the sleeve length, it's the dropped shoulders - on everything. The MMM jacket also looks too big, and so has pretty much every piece of outerwear I can remember you posting (feel free to correct me). Having both shoulder and sleeve too big makes me think "Just size down," but maybe I am being optimistic.

That's part of the problem with buying everything on deep sales too. Almost fits at deep discount just isn't always worth it.

I don't know if this is KJ's problem, but it's rare that I try on a piece of outerwear or blazer that wouldn't need to be shortened a little in the sleeves. I can't really wear anything smaller than a 42 without constriction because of my chest, but that also usually means sleeves that are a little too long. I also have narrow shoulders relative to my chest, so I pretty much can't exist without a competent tailor in my life.

Basically, you guys with broad shoulders don't realize you well you have it!

I have only two pieces of outerwear right now - that denim jacket and this:

which fits fine everywhere.  I wouldn't mind replacing the mmm jacket at some point, because you're right, essentially, but I haven't found anything I liked more and I don't want to buy something out of desperation.  I'll probably end up with a toj cwu-45 in black.  I think I might give the impression that I have more badly-fitting stuff than I do because I've posted things in should I / shouldn't I and then not kept them?

 

I also tapered those white jeans last night, so I mean, I do follow tailoring advice from you guys a lot of the time.

I think that we have the impression that have lots of badly-fitting stuff because you have lots of badly-fitting stuf.

I have the reverse problem, my shoulders are pretty broad, so almost every jacket/shirt I own has the sleeves running a bit short (verify by looking at any of my WAYWTs ever). I've just sort of learned to live with it, slightly short sleeves look less sloppy than overly long sleeves imo
