Mine does the same thing too. I think if you got the satin sleeves, that would eliminate this. But I agree with Toht, that is the way they are supposed to fit. The oversized look is definitly a modern age thing. If you look at pictures of pilots back in WW2, you'll notice that their leather jackets were nearly skin tight. And in observing Raiders, you can see that the jacket fits Harison Ford very snugly.

If you do want that kind of fit, get a Cooper Indy. That is the first one I bought and it is much baggier in the arms. But I bet that Peter at Wested could make one a little wider in the sleeves if you asked.

Anyway, I have just gotten in the habit of pulling my sleeves down when I put on the jackt. Sort of like Captain Picard's shirt tug on Star Trek.
