Sleeve length question

After a big struggle with my tailor I convinced him to alter the sleeves shorter than he normally does (covering the shirt cuff). The result is below. Do you think he made it too short this time?

It's hard to tell the right length when your shirt sleeves are 1.5"+ too long.

Shirt cuffs are about one inch too long, but the jacket look nice.

You're right guys. Will take a photo with another shirt. The jacket just came from the tailor and I put on the first shirt I got my hands on.

Yeah, your shirt cuffs look too long, the sleeves of the suit jacket are probably just right.

As others have said, the shirt sleeves look too long, not the jacket sleeves.
