Hard to,say from one selfie. But it looks good from here. Get more shots. I'd rather any day have lomger sleeves than shorter.
Looks lovely.

Sleeves look good to me..but big through the shoulders. Maybe one size too large?

Seems like it would take a lot of layers to poof out those wrinkles.

Depends on the fit ye want, looks comfy, and the sleeves look fine. Let the jacket settle down and those sleeves will crease up a touch. Surely its better a touch longer than a touch short. Short can only get shorter and long can also only get shorter 
That FQHH needs to be worn in. Enjoy! Actually, very nice jacket. What are the specs on that one.

Looks like a pretty good general fit to me. But I like a fit like that and don't like very tight jackets.

Very difficult to comment from this pic. If you could get someone to take a pic for you and have your arms hanging down your sides, it would be much easier to judge sleeve length and drape over the shoulders. Love the even colour to the hide, I'm assuming its FQHH?

I thought my Aero Dustbowl a wee bit to long in the sleeve, but it did shorten SLIGHTLY as the arms creased up in time.That said,a photo of you with your arms at your side would be a better indication.

Looks like those sleeves have already done their creasing.
Shoulders look a little big, too.

YEEEES Man, What a color !! Thats "Phillysound" for my eyes
Am I right when I see dark brown on my monitor? Can you post a few more close ups? Regarding the fit: GREAT! Shoulder looks comfy and will mold - and sleeves will shorten a lot with creasing!
Thanks for posting!

Thought it was much more worn than that....

What are the shoulders and the pit to pit (chest)? They are critical measurements.
You really need to wear these jackets daily for months before they start to fit properly. You might be getting rid of a jacket you would have loved if you had the patience to keep it.
