Looks better in pic 2, pic 1 is too dark. Now I have made a rule to not buy any 3/4 sleeves on what I call outerwear, after I bought what has become my fave winter coat with sales goggles for $60 for a warm short swing coat. After the inevitable jokes from DH about "someone forgot to make the sleeves long enough" and which I didn't notice in the shop I was so excited, I have still worn it 27 times according to my tracking and love it. It is annoying though to have long sleeves poke out from under, looks wrong to me, or if 3/4 sleeves under, my wrists get cold! Gloves help. However for work I love 3/4 sleeves and own a lot to wear under my tunics in winter, where I can have the heat pump on in my consulting room and 3/4 sleeves are so practical for not getting in the way of my examinations. It looks a beautiful piece at an amazing price. While working with your hands you won't get too hot to leave it on will you? I often take jackets and cardigans off because work makes me warm up.
