Got myself a stunning blue wax jacket from Burberry on second hand, it arrived today by mail. The condition is excellent so at £39.99 I couldn't resist it. However, the sleeve length turned out to be shorter than expected (my mistake, seller not to blame). I would like an extra inch or so, 2-3 cm. Please see attached photo where you can see my left hand in relation to the jacket sleeve. When moving my arms a bit the sleeves would be out of position and look even shorter by a centimeter or so.
On a jacket like this, what do you think of the sleeve length, style-wise? Would you keep the jacket or sell it to someone with slightly shorter arms? Currently I'm a bit uncomfortable with this sleeve length, but I really love the jacket so much in all other aspects so it would be painful to get rid of it. Maybe I could get used to the length. For a sport coat it wouldn't be too bad, right?
Thank you for your advice.
