: The sleeves should hang just below your wrist, and maybe halfway betwen your wrist and the top knuckle on your thumb. I determined this by carefull viewing of Raiders and consulting with my local tailor. I actually had to have mine shortened.

: By the way, it should be real easy to lengthen it a little bit. Most tailors don't charge much for it, and it would look better. Mine was faalso a little tight across the chest, as I am a fitness buff, but I have allready stretched it out a little, so it is just right.

: Again, congrats on having a great jacket!!

Taking them up yourself is not too difficult. In fact, I've tended to have Peter make them a bit long so I could adjust them so they are just right. I've shortened them myself by opening the lining on the inside of the left sleeve and turning the whole thing inside out. Not recommended if you’re not handy with a needle and thread. The tailors I talked to wanted $40 to do it. I'm just cheap.

Cheers!
