Jacket Sleeve vs. Shirt Sleeve Length Measurement. We take the jacket and shirt sleeve measurements from different parts of the garments. The Jacket Sleeve Length is measured from the top of the sleeve, where the armhole meets the shoulder seam, down to the end of the jacket sleeve.

The Shirt Sleeve Length is taken from the center back of the shoulder, at the base of the neck just under the shirt collar , extending to the shoulder seam and down the arm to the end of the sleeve cuff. If you wear bespoke or made-to-measure shirts, you may have been offered the option of having your shirt cuff made larger to accommodate your watch. You may also be tempted to have your initials on your shirt cuff.

The same is true of the practice of leaving the buttons undone on your coat sleeves to draw attention to the craftsmanship.

I would only do it to give a more casual air to a tailored jacket. I also like to leave a button or two undone on my two and three-button barrel shirt cuffs and I find this a practical way of accommodating a larger watch. Folding back the edge of a button cuff shirt is stylish and can be sporty when placed outside the jacket cuff.

A button-up dress shirt is an integral part of an attractive and cohesive suit outfit. A dress shirt serves as the base layer by setting the foundation for the rest of your outfit. When putting together your suit outfit, though, you should pay attention to the cuffs on your dress shirt. For an attractive and cohesive suit outfit, you must show the right amount of shirt cuffs. A shirt cuff is a section material at the end of a sleeve.

Most shirt cuffs also feature one or more buttons to protect them from overstretching or otherwise damaging. You can unfasten the cuff buttons, for instance, to put on or take off the dress shirt without damaging it. Shirt cuffs also allow for a cleaner and more uniform appearance. In fact, your shirt sleeve length, rather than your jacket, may be the problem.

Without exception, we find shirt sleeves are the most obvious and commonly overlooked elements of good fit. People often ask for shorter jacket sleeve lengths to show some shirt cuff, but in reality, their shirt sleeves are too short. A business shirt sleeve should just reach the mid point between the base of your thumb top knuckle and the point where the wrist ends and your hand starts.

When you are sitting with your arms in front of you on a desk, you tend to show a little more cuff - approximately another half inch, to be precise. The simple answer is your suit jacket sleeve should move up and not take your shirt with it.

A point to note, however, is people are seldom motionless and shirts vary more than jackets, so it's unlikely the amount of visible cuff will remain precisely constant for a single shirt-coat combination, let alone across a wardrobe.

The other thing we notice quite often is for many people, either their shirt sleeves are too short or jacket sleeves are too long, so enough of the shirt sleeve is not shown as both shirt and jacket sleeves are the same length or the shirt sleeves are shorter than the jacket's. Off-rack clothing is usually the culprit, and it has to some degree ruined men's understanding of fashion, because many have gotten used to no shirt cuff showing and jacket sleeves reaching lengths that are simply too long.
