Sorry for the slightly different camera angle/arm position between before and after. You can see that in the first photos, the cuffs are so large that my arm did not even affect a curvature in the sleeve; instead it hung flat, like it was folded. The button placement may have changed a little, but it's nothing I noticed until seeing the photos. It definitely feels right now where it didn't before.
