Re: Getting extremely nit-picky on sleeve length
Tobus
I actually tend to have the opposite problem, namely my jacket cuffs riding over the shirt sleeve cuffs and pulling them up thereby making them invisible. I know my jacket cuffs are fine, and if anyting maybe a tad short on some of my jackets. I also know that my gorilla arms (length not girth) requiring 18.5x 38-39 shirt sleeves should leave plenty of shirt cuff to show, but I guess because I tend to button my cuffs relatively loosely they on the jacket lining and ride up under the jacket sleeve and tend to stay there. Wearing a wristwatch of some size on my left wrist does not help the problem either.
Different strokes, different folks. Back in my college and med school days, before I could actually afford to buy properly fitted jackets (or shirts for that matter), I owned one (yes just one) Harris tweed jacket I picked up at a used clothing store and only two buttondown oxford cloth shirts (white and blue), one tie for each shirt, and I guess I got by because they were a close enough fit and I was ignorant and didn't really care that much about how I looked on the rare occasion I needed to dress up---usually a job or school interview. Amazing how time flies, times and circumstances change, and now these things make a difference in our thoughts and concerns.
