Do you reach that far often? My steering wheel is much closer than that.
What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Its to illustrate the point, sleeves are short or my arms are long.
The discovery is that one sleeve is an inch shorter than the other. Originals were not perfect

I was thinking that left sleeve was just a tad shorter. It may be time to start planning a trip to central or south America for a budget arm shortening surgery. What could go wrong?

I will go with Brett, I have the same problem as him.
I have a chest for size 40 jackets, I have shoulders for size 42 jackets and I have arms for size 44 jackets.... I am definitely not well designed !

What's the sleeve measure on that ? I'd like to compare it to my 55J14 in the same size from Star

Now that is exciting! No chance that it is second hand, original owner? Could John have made a bespoke jacket for someone else?

Oh, it's second -hand, I'm the third owner. But it's more about John's learning curve than any custom-tailored jacket.
Now, it's not an inch shorter, like @Brettafett , but when you put a tape to it one is definitely shorter (or longer) than the other.

... I can beat that: My GW Dubow has uneven sleeves AND an uneven collar!

I'd like to see how a DD roughwear collar compares to a GW roughwear collar, seeing as we've named JC as the undisputed champion of roughwear collars

Star 42 Sleeve measures 25"R (24"+L), my 40 measured 25.5" both sleeves
Ive had an early GW with an uneven collar, a few ELCs with slight differences in sleeve length and a couple of other weird issues... And an Aero with different sleeve length.
Hand made stuff....
