What's up with bracelet length sleeves?

Is this jacket normal?

I've been looking for the perfect white jacket for close to a year. This is just about right but are the sleeves ok? I would normally roll and scrunch them.

I find this length very awkward. It seems that the jacket sleeves were too short for the model. I love bracelet sleeves since I am an accessory girl, but this one is just confusing to me.

The jacket is lovely though and would be worth having the sleeves taken up a little.

When I found my perfect white jacket it had sleeves that length. I love it! One awesome thing is you have a fighting chance of keeping those white cuffs from getting instantly grubby!

Oh, great jacket and MaryK brings up a GREAT point (at least for grubby me!)

I have super short arms and have no problem with this length, but I also think that when it's warm enough for a white jacket, it's warm enough for that sleeve length. . .

If you do wear full length sleeves under it, you can fold the cuffs back over the jacket sleeves and scrunch up the whole lot.

Interesting. I have really long arms, so sleeves designed to hit the wrist bone generally end up like this on me. Because I have a frustrating history with sleeves being too short, I'd feel self-conscious in this style.

However, I bet shorter sleeves like that would be great for showing off bracelets and watches

It looks like a sweet jacket. I laughed ruefully at Amy's comment because I have a long history of sleeves always being too LONG so that length looks like a breath of fresh air to me! Knowing Nordie's great return policy I would order and try it out. You might find they actually are regular length on you, or you might discover they're bracelet length and you might like that!

I think the sleeve length is great. I find this a very comfortable and feminine length. Love it.

This looks like a great jacket. And the shorter sleeve will be nice to show off a watch or bracelet.

I like sleeves that length. It think it's a flattering look for petites, although I have a very tall friend who never buys sleeves like that because she thinks it makes it look like the jacket's too small for her.

For that jacket in particular, I'd probably roll or cuff the sleeves a little, so it's more obvious they're meant to be 3/4 sleeves.

I know I like since it will fit me just right.

This jacket arrived and it is already a rumpled mess. Beautiful jacket but me and linen do not get along.
