Some good entries there @MarkWinter.

I don’t do DB but I have a similar coloured cream cotton SB SC which I think works well with dark denim. Had to dig deep in the archives to find a pic:

Thanks, much appreciated. Your look is ain't that bad, either.

There was some black denim talk so I thought I would give it a shot. Levi’s athletic tapered fit, and Proper Cloth jacket

I brought this jacket to go with some chino trousers. Do you think it will work with jeans?

That sport coat is waaay too short. I would go with no.

I'd agree in the assessment of the jacket itself, it seems too short. Having said that, I don't mind shorter jackets that are going to be exclusively worn with jeans, et al. I'd also keep it unbuttoned.

+1 for sick fades on your denims, though.

Noted, I could either get it lengthened or get the longer jacket and shorten the sleeves.
The jeans were a nice dark wash when I purchased them.

Don’t try to lengthen the jacket, but if you can exchange it for the next size up you should. If not, then (as said above) don’t button it and wear with your highest rise jeans or chinos.

You may need a long. Get something off the peg that fits better and don't alter anything. Always wear clothes for a few weeks because they tend to mold to your body shape. If you then think a sleeve is long shorten it later.
Too many people on here are altering something before even wearing it which means that it didn't fit well to begin with.

You can't lengthen a jacket so get the long. The sleeves are simple to shorten.

I'm on here to discuss and get feedback from well dressed men and the "experts". Offline/in real life, the people I aim to impress or get compliments from are generally far from experts and could care less if jeans are black, or any other "style rule/guideline". I'm on here to get y'alls opinion and share mine, but I don't generally care for discussing this stuff with my friends or girls, and I like to keep in mind that just by wearing a dress shirt or jacket at all I probably am better dressed than 90%+ of the other people I'm surrounded by.

If putting on a shirt or jacket makes you well dressed I have to wonder what those people around you look like.
