This short jacket fad is going too far now. Shorter than the sleeves??

Shorten that jacket that way and in a year or 2 you'll never wear it again because it looked foolish to begin with and sensibility has finally caught up

Oh, and also, I would wear that jacket for a few hours before tailoring anything. It is probably molded to the previous owners body and should adjust to you a bit with a few hours on your body. That and a touch of steaming to release the old form.
