Long time lurker, first time poster. Love this forum - lots of great information here.
I've read all of the sleeve length threads here and elsewhere, but I would appreciate opinions of this suit jacket sleeve length on me based on the photos below. My sense is that the sleeve is a bit long - maybe only 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This is a MTM suit and shirt that I've purchased locally. We initially did one suit and shirt, have tweaked measurements, and I've just placed an order for several more suits, sport coats and shirts. We did not change the sleeve length measurement, and now I'm thinking maybe I should shorten it a bit.
I know that the shirt sleeve length is a bit long, and I've shortened it 1/8 inch for my next order. (The overall body length is too long and has been reduced for the next order). (I also know the jacket sleeve opening is too wide and has been reduced 1/2 inch for my next order).
With apologies for not wearing the matching suit pants or tucking in my shirt, the pics both with and without a shirt are below. Based on this, is the jacket sleeve length too long or about right? I want to show approx. a half-inch of shirt cuff as the finished look. Taking off 1/8 inch from the shirt and leaving the jacket sleeve where it is would have me right in that territory, so perhaps I should leave the jacket sleeves where they are?
Thanks in advance for taking time to help.
