You'll note your respected shirtmaker explicitly says it should be that long when undone where as the OP's photo is of a fastened cuff

If the shirt is unwashed then I would be concerned about shrinkage as there is little spare length


Yes, I noticed that. As I also noted that OP is wearing french cuffs which do not sit on the hand like buttoned barrel cuffs, so the advice is still valid.
Moreover, anyone with eyes can see those sleeves are too short from the first pic alone.

They are to short, as has been said before, with your arm straight they should be around the base of your thumb.

I am not a fan of CT shirts, quality is poor at best and I don't like the fit. Basically mass produced stuff
