Proper Jacket fitting

[davedove]

I would personally say that the sleeves should be tailored so that you don't see the shirt cuffs when your arms are hanging at your side, although they shouldn't be too long either. If you make the sleeves too short, while they will look okay at your side, if you raise your arm and bend it, the sleeve will look like it stops halfway up your forearm.

Of course, then the question becomes how do you see the fancy cufflinks if the coat sleeve covers them.:confused:

I'm a bit old fashioned with this: I think one should always shoot some cuff. I think the coat cuff should cut the wrist on or just below the wrist bone.

As a young man I learned that the jacket should just touch the first knuckle of the thumb, that would effectively cover the cuff of your shirt but as you bend your arm the jacket sleeve does rise and slide over the shirt cuff to expose your buttons or cufflinks.
