I recently came into posession of about eight suit jackets of various types with little 'made in italy' or 'yvessaintlaurent' tags inside them, which are slightly too small for me. They're very snug across the shoulders, but actually not too bad (in that I can still move my arms above my shoulders, etc), except for one which has sleeves too small in diameter for both my arms and a shirt at any one time.
The problem is, the sleeves are all two to three inches too short. I'd love to wear these things around (currently I have more blazers and suit jackets than, say, t-shirts, or button-down shirts), but can one really get away with an exposed forearm?
I mean, they look like capri pants (3/4 pants?) for the arms. I have a tshirt cut like this... but I don't know if I'm allowed to do it with someone else's suit cut.
Failing that, I'll rip the arms off the nice ones and wear them as horrific vests on days where I need to terrorise all who behold me, which might be kind of fun. Or, I don't know, give them to some of my friends who would fit perfectly into them.
Advice?
possibly relevant: I'm six two or so, and I have really long arms. Which is probably the cause of the problem.
Oh, and I'd be wearing these for casual studenting and bar-residencing, rather than for anything where I might normally be expected to wear a suit, and probably with whatever pants I pick up that day and a casual shirt. |
