Gentleman,

I have a bomber style leather jacket that has cuffed sleeves which are several inches too long. Is it possible to get the sleeves hemmed?

Thanks.

I have had a leather jacket successfully altered (taken in.) A good tailor should be able to do this easily. Just make sure it's a GOOD tailor.

And welcome!

The knit cuffs might pose a bit more involved work than no cuffs, but you should be able to get it done. If the jackets really nice you could consider shipping it out to a place that specializes in leather tailoring or a place that makes leather jackets and know you got a good job.

If it's only like a $100 leather jacket I'd just have it done by a good tailor nearby.
