Sleeves too long on leather jacket

[Rassy]

Hi - I have ordered a beautiful biker leather jacket from Next but the sleeves are too long. Is it worth paying to get them altered or should I reluctantly send it back? There are zips on the sleeves so I guess an alteration will be expensive!

How much too long are they? I always prefer too long rather than too short. There is always the possibility with leather though, that the inside of the elbows creases making the sleeves slightly shorter although this won't help you if they are inches too long

I'm short , I just fold them inside

The sleeves reach my finger knuckles.

Never thought of folding the sleeve inside! Had been trying it folded outside but didn't look right. Looks better folded inside

Dismiss any advice to put them up.

So being too long isn't an issue?

I always have to fold inside with coats - they make sleeves for tall people!! Generally looks fine

Overly long leather jacket sleeves seem to be a bit of a thing at the moment. Fold them under by all means but don't go along with the latest stylist trend of pushing them up, like you're a Miami Vice cast member. I don't feel that anyone should 'shawl' their coat either but that's probably for another thread.

Thanks everyone for the advice! Think I will keep the jacket now
