Sort of 2-3 inches above the wrist bone.Three quarter sleeve is shorter than that. Should work alright with a L/S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17162 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:05:04 +0000 greenglove 17162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,all of you. What length should bracelet length be? Is it different than 3/4"?<br /> I wear long sleeve fitted tutlenecks alot in the fall, would they work with the cropped sleeve? </p> <p>Thanks<br /> greenglove </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17150 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 05:51:22 +0000 judy 17150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Susan!...Angie, thanks for the inspiration to do the jacket with bracelets. I have some that will work well with it...and could always look for more too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17100 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:00:02 +0000 Angie 17100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice Judy! That’s exactly what I mean wrt the sleeves. They aren’t cuffed so they look great bracelet length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17084 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:27:41 +0000 susan 17084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket, Judy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17078 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 18:27:33 +0000 judy 17078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About too short sleeves...I have a leather jacket I found in a consignment store that fit me like a glove when I was about 15 pounds heavier. I still wear it, but layer it. It has those 3/4 sleeves described here, and so I wear a longer sleeve top most times with it. It has some "damage", like a distressed look, so it is not appropriate for all occasions, but it's a look I like. I put it on today and took a pic...I only have a tank top underneath, so it looks a bit baggy, but here it is: <a href="http://liminal-judy.blogspot.com/2008/07/little-leather.html" rel="nofollow">http://liminal-judy.blogspot.c.....ather.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17065 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:11:32 +0000 greenglove 17065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I will look into that option.<br /> Another question, I am going to London in about a week and want to purchase an authentic biker jacket. I saw some great ones at Portabella (sp?) market last year. I am a size 2-4 and like both an oversized heavy jacket to layer over sweaters and also fitted cropped ones. They seem to have both.</p> <p>Any suggestions from anyone on which to buy? I am an urban, artistic funky and sometimes romantic syle type.<br /> I own a gallery, paint and teach art. I like an unique look. I am not crazy about designer biker jackets, prefer the look of the real thing.</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Greenglove </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17062 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:50:28 +0000 Angie 17062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right. That’s about 2 inches too short. Sleeves look even shorter because they're cuffed. It would have looked bracelet length if the hem were straight. Thought about having the sleeves hemmed to a ¾ length without the cuff and closures? Good little urban, funky look with a longer sleeve peeking through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17060 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:43:41 +0000 greenglove 17060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are 2" cuffs with a snap closure. It hits my wrist about 1 1/4" up from the wrist bone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17058 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:37:29 +0000 Angie 17058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is the end of the jacket sleeve finished? Cuffed, straight? Where does it end on your wrist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17057 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:11:51 +0000 Ana 17057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Shiny's suggestion of trying it with long sleeves. It might be an interesting layering look. You could also try it with long gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17056 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:08:28 +0000 shiny 17056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3/4 length sleeves on jackets has been a big trend. So yes, you are probably fine wearing it, cuffed up or not. Try it with a long sleeve underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-get-rid-of-leather-jacket-with-too-short-sleeves#post-17053 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:24:28 +0000 greenglove 17053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,<br /> I bought a beautiful fitted earl jean black leather jean jacket with snap buttons. I cannot take it back. The sleeves are about 2 inches too short. It fits perfectly otherwise. Is there anyway that it can be worn without looking wrong. Maybe cuff up the sleeves? </p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Greenglove </p>
