Daily Men’s Style Tip #3
November 12th, 2007
Show cuff.
Show .25 - to 1 inch of shirt cuff when you wear a suit or sport jacket, depending on what makes you comfortable. If you have long arms, too-long sleeves can make them seem even longer. Even if you have short arms, too-long sleeves can make you appear a bit swamped in your suit.
Ever problematic when I buy off the rack because of my ape-like arms, even when jackets are adjusted to make the sleeves longer, I end up showing too much of my custom-made shirts ‘ cuffs - but I would still say better too much than none at all.

well well the problem you have is the length in the sleeve is too long compare to your jacket sleeve length….i dunno who makes your shirts but he probably doesnt know much about his job…
