I had mine altered. Had to taper them and open the seam up to recreate more room for the cuff.

I think it depends on you, does the cuff feel uncomfortable with the pressure from the longer sleeves? That's the kind of thing that will make me not wear a jacket and they end up just sitting in my closet.

Doesn’t look bad. It’s a comfort thing where the cuff stacks on the hand like Cbez said. If you’re ok with it then no need to spend to alter. It’ll develope some nice tunneling creases once you put some wearing time in them.

getting my hands through the openings is a bit difficult but getting more easy with each passing wear.

it doesnt feel uncomfortable to wear at all.

@cbez mind telling me who did your alterations? or if anyone has a recommendation?

Looks a bit too tight around the cuffs. Maybe it is ok for you but it would bother me.

I bought the same jacket a couple months back and I have the exact same issue. I have decided to leave it alone for now, and put some good wear into it to see how the creases set in to shorten the sleeves without me doing anything.
I love everything about the jacket, except for the sleeve length, but it does not bother me enough to feel like I need to do something about it immediratelyprobably because when I button the cuffs, the sleeves stay back up off my hands and don’t bother me

Looks really good! A tiny bit long but should shorten itself with some more creasing. Great jacket, congrats
