A little too short for my taste. One inch would have been enough for me. But if you like it (and that's the main thing), grea
Sorry in my haste to upload and show off the collar I could’ve took a better angle. Here’s another someone else took of me. When I went to a tailor, he told me I should take off 2.5-3 inches, so I went with the conservative 2.5, even though I originally asked for 2 just to be safe. I also uploaded the original length of the sleeve.

Was this a typical men's tailor or a leather tailor? Because if the former, then he probably had sport jackets in mind. The sleeves are shorter there.

TBH I didn't ask. So I asked about an inch more than I should have? If I ever want to fix this in the future, can I, or its pretty much set like this going forward.

That's just my personal view. It is neither right nor wrong. You have to like it and if it's good for you, fine. If you feel that it's a bit short, then I would shorten the next jacket by just 1 inch. But the jacket is perfectly wearable and some people don't want the sleeves any longer.
I wouldn't have written anything if it hadn't been posted in the ‘Fit Check Thread’ ;-)
