Proper Sleeve Length
Hi there, I’ve been trying to do a wardrobe overhaul and getting things to fit properly as a result. I’m having an existential crisis about my sleeve length; 34/35’s feel too short, and 36/37’s feel too long. I asked a reputable tailor and he suggested the 36/37, and a few other folks on other forums and in person have suggested the 34/35.
I think the 34/35 looks right when my arms are at my side but when they’re raised — eating, typing, writing, etc. — it seems like it comes up too high, especially under my jackets.
On the other hand, the 36/37 seems to fit properly with a jacket even with lifted arms, but looks baggy without a jacket.
First two pics are a 34/35, and with a jacket, and the then 36/37. Both shirts are on the longer side for their sizes.
Would appreciate some advice and any ideas on why I’m hearing different things from everyone I ask — thank you!
