IH-9527J - 21oz Denim Rider's Jacket - Superblack Non-Fade
-
Seul is correct, I wouldn't worry about the length of the sleeves + the arm combs on this jacket are some nicest you will ever see (this is true for any superblack item IH makes btw.)…
-
sidenote:
it's riders jacket, so I assume it's meant for ridin' a motorcycle. (or at least to mimick one) In that perspective the sleeves are just correct lenght. When you rise your arms straight forward and grab imagined handlebar the sleeves should end at the wrist, and no tightness should be felt in back.
This is just how proper riding jackets are built. (my Vansons sleeves end almost to my knuckles when unzipped)
All this without having tried on that particular jacket and seen only pics of it. Styling is after classic Cafe Racer jacket to my eye.

yeah, even with my arms raised it is still a tad long. i'm glad to hear that the sleeves will shrink a little eventually.
thank you guys so much for your invaluable input!
I usually wear a leather jacket. This is my first denim jacket. Can't wait to see how it fades and wear out over time.
Cheers.

A superb jacket, but don't expect the supablack denim to fade and/or wear out, unless you work that thing supa hard core - you'll develop nice combs and creases with the denim, but it's not gonna fade.

38 is Medium.
Looking at the sleeves in particular I think you have the right size… it is intended to be a fitted jacket. Does it feel uncomfortable?
-
it looks rather short… sleeves on a rider are gonna run long, they're meant to sit at proper length with the arms up on the bars
not a bad fit, but be sure it's the fit you're hoping for... I don't know if it'll stretch much. If anything you may see the sleeves shorten a bit as the combs develop at the elbows.
A super jacket, congrats on the purchase, the superblack denim is awesome.
