Should I lengthen the sleeves on this blazer?

Depending the shirt/buttons it can look fine to too short;

The length of the sleeves on the jacket is fine. (I think)

It would be easier to tell if your arms were relaxed instead of in that slight zombie arm pose. From the photos you did post, the sleeves length seems appropriate. Are your shirt cuffs to loose? They appear to be encroaching on your palm a little bit in the second photo. But again, it is difficult to tell from your pose.

It's always hard to judge based on picture, but I'd say it looks fine
I find sleeve length to depend on shirt and jacket fabric, watch, accessories, posture, basically it's good if you're pleased with it

Has anyone ever noticed it's impossible to stand normally when ur taking a picture of yourself?

I wore it yesterday with a shirt that has slightly too short arm length & it felt good, got a compliment even.

I think it probably should be 1/4 - 1/2" longer but no rush..will wear it a few times & see how it looks.
