I personally find changing the sleeve length on a jacket a bit tricky to get a good job on, but not impossible. If you do decide to shorten the sleeves a little, and it gets too daunting, it is a very standard alteration that any tailor can help you with.
Enjoy your fine new jacket!
Sleeves are next on my list for this jacket. After getting the main work of the conversion done I just couldn't wait to wear it out for the day! I had a long coat on over the whole thing so the sleeves weren't really an issue today, but for sure I need to fix them before summer rolls around.
